PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
THIS manual is a guide, designed primarily to help library assistants, library school
students, college students, teachers, and users of libraries in general, in gaining a knowl-
edge of reference books quickly. It does not pretend to be complete. The reference books
and bibliographies included in this list are necessarily limited, first to those of a strictly
reference character, and, secondly, to the most useful works in the English language, with
some exceptions in other languages. It is obviously impossible, without exceeding the
limits of one volume, to include all of the important works of reference in foreign lan-
guages, which, though often of more value than the corresponding English books, still
are of restricted use owing to the comparatively small number of readers of foreign
languages who frequent our libraries.
Reference books which are limited to the use of the specialist have been in like man-
ner usually omitted. Out-of-print books have occasionally been mentioned because they
are to be found in the older libraries. It sometimes happens that the best reference
book on a subject is out of print.
Almost all books of reference possess defects as well as merits; it is difficult indeed to
find one that is perfect. At the same time they are essential to a well-equipped library.
The annotations of the titles herein contained are largely of a descriptive character, show-
ing for what purposes the books mentioned are especially useful.
Besides cyclopedias and dictionaries which give direct aid, the reader will have to
consult more elaborate treatises for further information. Bibliographies are guides to
these. A knowledge of bibliography, therefore, forms an important part in the prepara-
tion of the student. The most useful reference department will include bibliographies of
special subjects along with the cyclopedias of those subjects. It is to be regretted that
books belonging to the class Bibliography are as a rule kept in the cataloger's room or
the librarian's office, not in the reference department where they would be useful to the
public. In a large library, such an important printed catalog as that of the Peabody
Institute Library and a bibliographical work like the United States catalog and supple-
ment, should by all means be kept where the public can have easy access to them even if
it is necessary to duplicate such works.
This manual will also serve as a guide in the selection of reference books for a library.
The prices given are the publishers' prices, and the lowest price is usually quoted. Books
can often be obtained at a discount or picked up from time to time at auction or second-
hand stores at a much reduced price. Reference books are expensive, and few libraries
can afford to keep up with new editions or even with recent authorities. In many cases
new editions are not worth the cost. They are frequently made from the same plates
as the earlier editions, with slight alterations, not of sufficient importance to warrant
the expense involved in their purchase. A suggestive list of one hundred reference books
for a small library will be found at the end of the volume.
The selection of the books in this volume has been made from a study of the ref-
erence departments of the principal libraries of Philadelphia, Boston, New York, St.
Louis, and Washington, and practically covers the course of study in reference books as
pursued in the Drexel Institute Library School. Other library schools also give similar
courses.
1902
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
THE publication of many important reference books since 1902 made it necessary to
revise and enlarge the Guide. The Supplements published in the Library Journal and
the A. L. A. Booklist in January of each year have been incorporated with much addi-
tional material in the present edition. More foreign reference books have been included,
and in some cases the scope of the work has been extended to embrace mention of insti-
tutions as well as books which may be consulted by the reference librarian.
Special attention is called to the Index which has been made as full as practicable
in order that the reference books may be more readily used by persons who have had little
experience in looking up information in them.
While it is obviously impossible to make a complete analytic index to the contents of
reference books, there are still a number of subjects which it is convenient to locate
quickly, and which are difficult to find without a thorough knowledge of these books.
The compiler extends grateful acknowledgments for helpful suggestions to Mr F. W.
Faxon, Mr Charles C. Soule, Mr S. H. Berry, Mr A. Growoll, Mr. Edward H. Virgin, Mr.
David H. Hutcheson, Mr Charles Martel, Mr Steingrimur Stefansson, Dr Roland P.
Falkner, Miss A. R. Hasse, Miss Theodosia E. Macurdy, Mr C. W. Andrews, Mr. J. I.
Wyer, Jr., Mr William Coolidge Lane, Miss Nina E. Browne, Mr George Winthrop Lee;
to the reference librarians of the Free Libary of Philadelphia, Astor Library, Library of
Congress, John Crerar Library, and other libraries for their many courtesies.
1908
PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION
THE third edition of the Guide is based, in the main, upon the second edition, 1908,
and the two supplements for 1909-10 and 1911-13, but the many changes in reference
books and developments in reference work and teaching since 1908 have necessitated
many changes from the earlier edition. In the third edition the general plan and ar-
rangement of the second edition have been followed and Miss Kroeger's Introduction,
familiar to so many classes of library students, has been kept intact except that one
section, "How to study reference books," has been made slightly more detailed. The
lists of reference books, however, have been changed very materially and the annotations
have been rewritten and much extended, so that this latter feature of the Guide is prac-
tically new throughout, only a few annotations having been carried over from the second
edition, although somewhat more have been retained from the two Supplements. Aside
from the new annotation, the revision of the lists of reference books has consisted
principally of (1) excision of older titles and editions now superseded by more recent
material, (2) addition of new titles including not only the recent books listed in the two
Supplements and later titles through 1916, but also a very considerable number of earlier
titles, principally foreign or more special works not hitherto included in the Guide, and
(3) the addition of some entirely new lists, such as those on Constitutions, International
law, Romances, Historical source books, English public documents, etc. Among the older
lists which have been greatly augmented are those on Periodical indexes, both General
and Special, Foreign dictionaries, Statistics, Author dictionaries, Concordances, Special
gazetteers, Place names. In general, information included goes through 1916, and does
not cover changes, additions, etc., for 1917.
In order to meet the needs of students in library schools which give courses in ad-
vanced reference work and of reference assistants in the larger public and university
libraries, foreign reference books have been included more freely than in the earlier
editions. Questions raised by the European War have emphasized the use and need of
foreign reference books, and it is hoped that the very considerable extension of the Guide
in this direction will meet a real need.
Prices have been revised carefully throughout and it is hoped that they are, in the
main, accurate. As many book prices have been changed during the war and are still
changing, some inaccuracies are inevitable. In the case of annuals and periodicals only
the price of the latest volume or current subscription is given, as earlier prices often vary
and the cost of a complete set would generally have to be ascertained by quotation from
some dealer. The entries of books listed are in most cases those of the Library of
Congress printed cards, and the collation has been modified somewhat from the second
edition in order to agree more nearly with the Library of Congress practice. At the
suggestion of several constant users of the Guide, the paragraph form of list previously
used for such lists as Statistical abstracts, Engineering handbooks, etc., has been aban-
doned and the full entry substituted.
The compiler extends grateful acknowledgment for the helpful suggestions received
during her work of revision from many users of the Guide. Special acknowledgment
should be made to Miss Mary E. Hazeltine, Principal of the Library school of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, Mr Frank K. Walter, Vice Director of the New York State Library
School, and Miss Mary L. Sutliff, instructor in reference work in the Library School of
the New York Public Library for many suggestions based upon their use of the Guide as a
textbook, to Professor W. W. Rockwell of the Union Theological Seminary for constant help
in both the selection and the annotation of the theological titles included, to Mr Frederick
C. Hicks, Law Librarian, Columbia University, for advice about the list of law refer-
ence books, to Mr W. B. Gamble, chief of the Technology division of the New York Public
Library and. Dr Otto Kinkeldy, chief of the Music division of the New York Public
Library for aid in their two specialties, and to Miss E. A. Cole, of the Reference De-
partment, Columbia University Library, for the compilation of the list of statistical
abstracts. IQM

INTRODUCTION
A REFERENCE book has been defined as "a book which is to be consulted for definite
points of information rather than read through, and is arranged with explicit reference
to ease in finding specific facts." (E. C. Richardson in Lib. j. 18:254.) Books which
come under this classification are usually separated from the rest of the books in a
library and placed where they can be most readily consulted by the public, without the
delay of customary formalities. They comprise general encyclopedias, cyclopedias of
special subjects, dictionaries, gazetteers, atlases, etc. The term reference book in public
libraries is also used to include many books than do not circulate outside the library
either on account of their character or their value.1
REFERENCE WORK IN LIBRARIES
The term reference work is commonly used in libraries to include that branch of
their administration which deals with the assistance given to readers in their use of the
resources of the library. This is an important part of the educational work of public
libraries. The "information desk" is now a well-established feature in the large libraries
of America.2 At this post the reference librarian presides. His duties are to assist
readers in their search for information, and to some extent to guide the reading public
by preparing lists of references on topics of the day or on subjects of general interest.
He must be able to send inquirers to the necessary reference books or other authorities,
and in order to do this he should have a thorough knowledge of the librarian's aids and
guides, reference books, and bibliographies.
The reference librarian, especially in a public library, should keep a record of the
questions most frequently asked, specifying places in which answers to the same can be
found. It is well, if time does not allow for analytic work to be inserted in the card
catalog, to keep this record near the information desk, writing the questions on cards
with references where found, and filing alphabetically. Much valuable time is consumed
in looking up the same question over and over again. This is particularly noticeable in
the case of questions for school work where a large number of children are assigned the
same topic. Lists of all references on such subjects as Christmas, Arbor Day, Thanks-
giving Day, Washington's Farewell address, lives of noted personages,-T-Washington,
Lincoln, Lowell, Holmes, etc., — should be always at hand covering every available refer-
ence in the library on the subject.
In libraries where there is no reference librarian every attendant at the delivery
desk must be ready to answer questions, and, when not able to do so, must refer them to
the librarian. Any one at all familiar with library management knows what a large
number of questions — some trivial and some important — are brought to the library for
solution every day.
The librarian cannot always be accessible to the numerous visitors who come to the
library. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that his assistants should, so far as
possible, understand how to use reference books, which serve frequently as guides to
more important authorities which may not be included under the limited title, reference
book. The public certainly cannot expect the attendants to know the answers to the
questions which they ask, but in the majority of cases they should be expected to know
where to find them. This knowledge comes largely from daily experience, and becomes
constantly more technical in character; it can, however, be materially assisted by a
systematic study of reference books. Johnson said: "Knowledge is of two kinds. We
know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it." The
latter is one of the necessary requirements of a librarian. A thorough understanding of
the use and value of reference books assists one to turn readily to the correct book for
the solution of some difficult point, and saves much valuable time. Every desk-attendant
should be a reference librarian so far as in him lies the ability.
The true librarian finds no greater satisfaction in his daily work than that of solv-
ing a difficult problem for some earnest student by placing before him the best authority
from some hidden corner of the library. The memory can be trained along these lines

to a remarkable degree. The librarian who sincerely wishes to succeed in this, by a
systematic study of the books of reference, and the use of the indexes and other keys,
will be able to accomplish what will appear most wonderful to one not accustomed to the
daily handling of books and constant observation of them.
A librarian, distinguished for his ability to assist readers, wrote, "In the intervals
of library work, I am accustomed to consider the looking up of subjects or authorities
as one of my very best recreations. It is as interesting as a game of whist and much
more profitable. . . . And this is one of the foremost attractions, let me add, of the
librarian's calling; it is more full of intellectual variety, of wide-open avenues to knowl-
edge, than any other vocation whatever." A. R. Spofford in his Book for all readers,
p. 193.
In some of the large libraries meetings of the assistants are held at regular intervals.
A study of aids and guides, with the result of practical experience in using them, can be
made an instructive feature of such meetings. There are possibilities of improvement in
the regular staff of the library in this way, while the results can be tested from time
to time if desired by means of examinations, the questions asked at the delivery desk
serving as a basis for such examination.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Other institutions besides libraries are engaged in reference work and are important
bureaus of information which the reference librarian should know and refer to when the
resources of his library have been exhausted. Some of these are in connection with the
United States government at Washington, among which may be mentioned the Bureau of
Education which is the chief authority in the country for educational information, the
Department of Agriculture, the Surgeon-general's office for medical subjects, the Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor and many others. There are other institutions such as
the Philadelphia Museums whose specialty is foreign commerce that may be called upon
by librarians for aid in looking up subjects.
A few enterprises of a more commercial nature it is also well to use. An example
of this is the Cumulative Reference Library of the H. W. Wilson Company, White Plains,
which consists of articles clipped from magazines (principally those indexed in the
Readers' guide) and theses, pamphlets, etc. Collections on a number of important sub-
jects are rented at a small cost. This is of use in small towns to supplement the collec-
tions of the public library when its collection of periodicals is limited.
INTERLIBRARY LOANS
Through a system of interlibrary loans books may be borrowed from other libraries
for the use of students. The reference librarian must remember this when assisting
serious readers. The Library of Congress, for example, lends books "for the convenience
of investigators engaged in research" on condition that the book is an unusual one
"which it is not the duty of the local library to supply, and that it can at the moment
be spared by the Library of Congress, and that the risk and expense of transportation
shall be borne by the borrowing library." This custom is also adopted by many large
public, state and college libraries.
LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE WORK
Several of the states have established in connection with the state library a legislative
reference department where members of the legislature can obtain material upon matters
which come before them for consideration and action. The legislative reference li-
brarian collects books, newspaper and magazine articles, documents, pamphlets, letters,
etc., classifies and indexes these so as to have them ready for immediate consultation.
A few cities have adopted the idea by establishing municipal reference departments for
the benefit of the mayor and the council. These legislative departments can also be
consulted by librarians.
REFERENCE WORK IN COLLEGES
In many colleges the study of bibliography has been introduced — usually as an
elective course in the senior year— in which the use of reference books and the library
catalog is included. This is realizing, to some extent, what Emerson so much desired
xii INTRODUCTION
when he wrote, earnestly advocating a professorship of books in every college. That
the college is the proper field for such study there is little question. It is only to
be regretted that such a chair does not exist in every college, and that the course is
not a regular part of the curriculum. It is here that the student, who is pursuing
a special line of work, finds that a knowledge of bibliography will aid him in obtain-
ing access to the literature of his subject, and that in thoroughly understanding how to
use reference books, he can find quickly information on subjects outside his specialty
which otherwise he would either do without, or be obliged to consume much valuable
time in finding.
REFERENCE WORK IN SCHOOLS
A systematic study of the use of books can also be made an important feature in
the training of teachers, and it might therefore be introduced to advantage into the
course of study in high and normal schools. The knowledge of how to advise others
what to read and how to find answers to the questions constantly coming up in the
course of their reading is of the greatest value to the student who is soon to go out to
teach young people. One of the difficult problems of the public libraries of the present
day, especially in our large cities, is to make closer the union between the public li-
brary and the public schools. Many methods have been adopted to bring about better
results in improving the character of the reading of the children in the schools, and
much valuable discussion of these methods may be found in the volumes of the Library
Journal. Nevertheless it still remains a formidable task for one librarian in a large
city to influence several hundred public school teachers or to assist them to any per-
ceptible degree in learning how to use the library and the books in it. Instruction of
this character should begin before the cares and busy hours of teaching take up all
the time, if not all the enthusiasm and desire on the part of the teacher.
A normal school is generally provided with a working collection of books. The
instruction should therefore include a study of the catalog and classification of its own
library, which must be made to conform as nearly as possible to the best library
methods. In teaching the use of reference books in schools, it will often be found
necessary to take the class to the public library, if the school library does not contain
the most important of these books. On leaving the school, every student should be
able to go to a library to look up any information either in catalog, on shelves, or in
reference books.
The references (p. 4-5) will call attention to many articles in library periodicals,
illustrating courses now given in normal schools.
HOW TO STUDY REFERENCE BOOKS
Only constant and practical use of a reference book will make a student thoroughly
familiar with its character and use, but the following suggestions will help him in his
preliminary examination of the book.
1. Examine title page carefully for information as to (a) scope of work as indicated
in title, (b) author's name, (c) author's previous record (often indicated by list of
degrees, positions, titles of earlier works, etc.), (d) publisher, (e) date of publication.
Check date of publication by reference to copyright date and date of preface.
2. Read preface or introduction for (a) further information as to scope of work,
(b) special features claimed, (c) limitations, if any, (d) comparison with other books
on same subject.
3. Examine book itself for (a) arrangement, (b) kind of entry, (c) cross-references,
i. e. extent to which included, whether given in main work or in separate list, etc., (d)
supplementary lists, noting number and kind and how connected with main work,
(e) indexes, noting fullness and exactness of reference, (f) quality and kind of articles,
noting whether they are popular or scientific, signed or unsigned, impartial or biased,
and especially whether they are equipped with satisfactory bibliographical references in
the form of either appended bibliographies, references throughout the text or bibliog-
raphical foot notes. Several articles should be read carefully, and compared with similar
articles in other books. The student should, if possible, look up subjects upon which
he has some special information.
4. In examining both preface and articles note any evidence of lack of impartiality;
c. g. if the book deals with a controversial subject, religious, political, etc., does it
represent only one side; or in the case of a biographical work, is the selection of names,
INTRODUCTION xiii
kind and length of article, etc., determined in any way by the desire to secure subscribers.
5. If the work in question purports to be a new edition, note carefully the extent
of revision claimed for it and check this by comparison with earlier editions.
It is not sufficient that titles of reference books should be known to the student,
but systematic study should be followed by constant reference to the books by means
of set questions which must be looked up thoroughly. As the student progresses, he
must not confine himself to the reference books, but consult the best books on any
subject for fuller, and often more authoritative, information. Many text-books are the
best reference books on special subjects. These have not been included in this list,
which is limited to the more narrow meaning of the term reference book. Libraries
such as that of the British Museum, and even others not so large, include the leading
text-books and 'authorities in the reference department. This should be done if the
library can afford to possess duplicate copies.
Care should always be taken to keep in touch with what is being published, the
latest editions and most recent authorities should be noted, and when a new work comes
out, and is found to be useful for some specific purpose, it should be added to the
student's list of reference books.

GUIDE TO REFERENCE BOOKS
"Reference books are the clearing-houses of knowledge. They are libraries in miniature,
focusing into a single book information scattered through a thousand volumes. They are
short-cuts to learning, pass-keys to the accumulated wisdom of the ages. The ordinary
reader knows little of them, and realizes but slightly the great help they would be to him in
his daily reading and daily living." W ': G: Jordan in Literary era, 8:52.
"A selection of the best works of reference should be the corner-stone of every library
collection." A. R. Spofford in his Book for all readers.
". . . For I have long known how much books of reference fail of all the good which they
might accomplish, simply from ignorance of them, or inability to use them intelligently."
Justin Winsor in Lib. j. 3:159.
"It is quite possible for a person of ordinary memory and ability, by careful study of
reference books, by familiarity with the arrangement of his library, and by attention to the
aids which his fellow librarians have put in print, to gain that respectable amount of informa-
tion about a great many things essential to work at the information desk." George T. Little
in Lib. /. 20 : C 20.
"We all agree in lamenting that there are so many houses — even some of considerable
social position — where you will not find a good atlas, a good dictionary, or a good
cyclopaedia of reference. What is still more lamentable, in a good many more houses
where these books are, they are never referred to or opened. That is a very discreditable
fact, because I defy anybody to take up a single copy of the Times newspaper and not come
upon something in it, upon which, if their interest in the affairs of the day were active,
intelligent, and alert as it ought to be, they would consult an atlas, dictionary, or cyclopaedia
of reference." John Morley in his Studies in literature, p. 205.
"It [a public library] should be rich in books of reference, in encyclopaedias, where one
may learn without cost of research what things are generally known. For it is far more useful
to know these than to know those that are not generally known." James Russell Lowell in
his Books and libraries.

PERIODICALS, ESSAYS, DEBATES, DISSERTATIONS
PERIODICALS
Periodicals form a very important element in reference work in any library, supple-
menting the book collections in several important ways. They are especially useful for
the following purposes:
1. For subjects where it is of first importance to have the latest information available
in print, periodicals often furnish articles that are later than any book on the subject.
This use of periodicals is of special importance in the sciences, in technology, and in
political, economic, and industrial questions of current interest.
2. Periodicals often contain articles on subjects about which the library has no
books, or even about which no books have yet been written. This is especially true
in the case of small or obscure subjects, or subjects of purely local or temporary interest.
3. Periodical articles are often very useful as showing contemporary opinion on any
given event, subject, person, book, etc. Periodicals, newspapers, and contemporary
memoirs are the three main sources for such information, and of these three sources,
periodical files are the most easily used and most serviceable in the ordinary library.
To make the best use of periodical literature and to answer the ordinary questions
about periodicals the reference worker needs three types of reference aids. These are:
1. The index, to periodicals, which furnishes a guide to the contents of files of
periodicals, serving the same purpose for articles in periodicals that the library card
catalog does for the books in the library.
2. The bibliography or catalog of periodicals which is a list of the periodicals them-
selves, not an index to their contents, and which furnishes information about the
periodicals listed_, their correct titles, history, character, editors, prices, publishers, etc.
3. The union list of periodicals, which supplies information as to where sets of the
periodicals included in the list may be found. Such lists are usually regional, i. e. for a
given city, or larger area.
GENERAL INDEXES tinned, still the most important index to American
and English periodicals, since it covers the longest

the periodicals covered, except in the following
respects: (1) very brief articles, notes, etc. gener-
ally omitted; (2) minor book reviews not included;
(3) some English periodicals included in volume 1
are incompletely indexed because of failure in col-
laboration between the English and American in-
dexers. Information given about each article in-
cludes its title, author's name in curves when it
was known or could be ascertained, abbreviated title
of periodical, volume and page reference. Neither
inclusive paging nor date is given, but the date (year
only) can be worked out from the "Chronological
conspectus," an ingenious table at the beginning of
each volume. The list of periodicals indexed com-
prises principally periodicals of a general nature
but a few selected periodicals oti special subjects are
included. In general the work of both indexing
and printing is very accurate and there are com-
paratively few typographical errors. A list of errata
has been published in the Bulletin of bibliography as
follows— 2:24-25, 40-41, 56-58, 75-76, 133-134; 3:25;

A condensation of Poole's Index, including all
references to 37 popular periodicals still published,
to the end of 1899. Designed especially for the
small library, but of value to all libraries, large
or small, on account of its one alphabet and the
fact that it gives references enough for all ordinary
work.
Annual literary index. 1892-1904. In-
cluding periodicals, American and Eng-
lish; essays, book-chapters, etc.; with
author-index, bibliographies, necrology,
and index to dates of principal events.
N. Y. Publishers' weekly, 1893-1905. 13 v.
27cm. $3.50 per vol. 050
Ed. by W. I. Fletcher and R. R. Bowker.
Continued 1905-10 by the Annual library index.
Contents of each volume: (1) Subject index to
periodicals; (2) Subject index to general literature;
(3) Author index to (1) and (2); (4) Bibliographies;
(5) Necrology; (6) Index to dates of principal
events.
A composite annual index containing among the
six sections of the contents noted above four dis-
tinct indexes: (1) a subject index which was an
annual continuation of Poole, indexing the same
periodicals in the same way and forming the basis
for the five-yearly Poole supplements; (2) a sub-
ject index to essays, which continued the A. L. A.
index; (3) a much needed author index, never in-
corporated in Poole, and (6) an index to dates,
which served practically as an index to newspapers.
The Annual literary index has been in large measure
superseded by the Poole supplements and the sec-
ond edition and supplement of the A. L. A. index,
but it is still useful for the author indexes, which
furnish the only extended author key to the sets
of Poole periodicals before 1900. Lists (4)-(6)
are still occasionally useful.
Annual library index. 1905-10. Includ-
ing periodicals, American and English;
essays, book-chapters, etc.; bibliographies,
necrology, and index to dates of principal
events and select lists of public libraries
in the United States and Canada and of
private collectors of books. N. Y. Pub-
lishers' weekly, 1906-11. 6 v. 27cm. $3.50

Subtitle varies.
Editors: 1905, W. I. Fletcher, H. E. Haines;
1906--09, W. I. Fletcher; 1910, W. I. Fletcher and
others.
Preceded by the Annual literary index (1892-
1904)
Contents of each volume: (1) Index of period-
icals, author, title and subject in one alphabet; (2)
Index to general literature; (3) Bibliographies;
(4) Necrology; (5) Index to dates of principal
events; (6) Selected list of public libraries in the
U. S. and Canada; (7) Selected list of private col-
lectors of books.
Of the above contents (l)-(5) are found in all
volumes, (6) in 1908-10 only, and (7) in 1910
only.
As an index the Annual library index differed
from its predecessor, the Annual literary index,
principally in the fact that its index to periodicals
contained authors, titles and subjects in one alpha-
bet instead of two separate subject and author lists.
Xow partly superseded, although it must still be
used for many author entries for 1905-06; for sub-
ject entries it is now practically superseded by the
cumulated volumes of the Readers' guide and Read-
ers' guide supplement, (see below, p. 7) The other
lists are still useful.

A cumulative index, made up of three forms or
sections: (1) permanent five-yearly volumes, (2)
annual volumes, to be used as supplements to the
PERIODICALS
quinquennial volumes until superseded by a new
quinquennial, and (3) monthly issues, cumulating
quarterly (i. e., March 3 months, June 6 months,
September 9 months, etc.) until the last or De-
cember number forms a new annual volume. A
complete set to date always consists of all quin-
quennial volumes, all annuals since the last quin-
quennial, the latest quarterly cumulation of the
current year and the current (latest monthly) num-
ber.
Started in 1901 as an index for the small li-
brary, covering at first only 15 of the more popular
periodicals, and gradually extended until in 1903
it absorbed the Cumulative index (see below, p.
7) and in 1911 took over the work of the Annual
library index. The three five-yearly volumes in-
dexed a total of about 567,000 articles in 2,456
volumes of 136 different periodicals, and the 1915 an-
nual covered 92 periodicals. A modern index of the
best type. Its special features are: (1) full diction-
ary cataloging of all articles, i. e., their entry
under author, subject, and title when necessary;
(2) uniformity of entries, owing to the fact that
the work is done by a few professional indexers
rather than by many voluntary collaborators; (3)
use of catalog subject headings instead of catch-
word subjects; (4) full information in the ref-
erences, i. e., refers not only to volume and page,
but also to exact date and inclusive paging, and
indicates illustrations, portraits, etc.; (5) the cumu-
lative features of the monthly issues, which keep
the index well to date without multiplying alphabets
to be consulted; (6) the indexing of all book re-
views, through 1904, under author reviewed; after
1905 reviews are generally omitted because included
in the Book review digest; (7) the indexing, in the
2d and 3d quinquennial volumes, of some 597 com-
posite books, thus forming an unofficial continuation
of the A. L. A. index of general literature (see
p. 24) This book indexing was abandoned after
1914 because the analytic work in the Standard
catalog now being prepared by the same firm will
take its place.

Author and subject index, on the same plan as
the Readers' guide. Indexes 74 periodicals of which
55 are indexed for the period 1907-15, and 19 for
the period 1913-15 only, as they were already in-
dexed for previous years in the Readers' guide. In-
dexes also some 55 composite books. In all about
89,000 articles are listed. Continued by the fol-
lowing:

Bi-monthly, cumulating throughout the year. Fol-
lows the same system of indexing as the Readers'
guide. Material indexed is less popular in char-
acter than that included in the Readers' guide,
v. 1-3 superseded by the 1907-15 cumulation noted
above.
Cumulative index to a selected list of
periodicals, 1896-Jun. 1903. Cleveland,
Cumulative index co. 1897-1903. 8 v. 25em.
$5 per year. 050
Started by the Cleveland public library (v. 1-3),
continued by the Helman-Taylor co. (v. 4), then by
the Cumulative index co. (v. 5-8) Consolidated with
the Readers' guide to periodical literature, July,
1903.
Indexed 50 periodicals.
The Cumulative index was published monthly with
quarterly and annual cumulations. No annual cumu-
lations after 1898.
The indexing is by authors, titles, subjects. Por-
traits and book reviews are indexed. Now largely
superseded but still occasionally useful for material
not included in the corresponding volumes of Poole.
Magazine subject-index; a subject-index
to seventy-nine American and English
periodicals, forty-four indexed from their
first issues to December 31, 1907, thirty-
five indexed for the year 1907; comp. by
F. W. Faxon. Boston book co. 1908. v. 1.
24cm. $3. 050
An index of subjects only, not of authors or
titles, except that fiction when included is indexed
under author's name. Indexes all material with
exact reference, giving abbreviated title of periodical,
volume, date, inclusive paging and indication of
illustrations, portraits, maps, and plans. Intended
as a supplement to other indexes and so includes
no periodicals indexed in either Poole, the Readers'
guide, or Annual library index. While the whole
list of periodicals is general in character about half
of the titles relate to history, especially local history,
and the index specializes also in travel, mountaineer-
ing, exploration, out-door life, and fine arts. Indexes
all important articles in the periodicals covered but
omits short or trivial articles, poetry, and most fic-
tion, though continued stories and short stories by
notable writers are included. Continued by the
following:

An annual supplement to the Magazine subject
index, compiled on the same plan and specializing in
the same subjects. In accordance with the plan of
not indexing any periodicals covered by other gen-
eral indexes, this index varies its list from year to
year, dropping periodicals which have been taken
over by other indexes and adding new titles. The
annual volumes add many new local history titles,
especially transactions of local history societies in-
dexed in Griffin's bibliography (see p. 30), and as
these are in many cases indexed back to the date
when Griffin stopped, the index constitutes an in-
formal continuation of Griffin. The only exception
to the rule not to index material included elsewhere
is in the case of a few of these history periodicals
which are left in for the sake of completeness in
this specialty. Indexes more English periodicals
than other American indexes; out of 163 periodicals
indexed in 1915, 26 are English and 8 Canadian.

about twenty periodicals and selected public docu-
ments. Discontinued after 1912.

Title varies: v. 1. 1891, The Annual index of
periodicals & photographs for 1890; v. 2-4, Index
to the periodical literature of the world. (Covering
the year 1891-1893.)
No more published.
Primarily a subject index, but contains a fair
number of author entries also, especially in the later
volumes. Indexes material under rather broad sub-
jects and gives for each, brief title, author's name
when known, periodical, volume, month, and page
reference, and, in parentheses, a reference to the
volume, month, and page of the Review of reviews
where a summary or other notice of the article is to
be found. Indicates maps and illustrations. Indexes
novels, short stories and poems under authors'
names, not under title; as a special feature gives
under such subjects as music, architecture, fiction,
etc., a list of persons connected with those subjects
who are noticed elsewhere in the index. The num-
ber of periodicals indexed varies from 117 in 1890
to 195 in 1902. Principally useful because it covers
many English periodicals (about 109 in the later
volumes) which are not indexed in Poole. Not
needed in the small library.
Athenaeum subject index to periodicals,
1915. Issued at the request of the council
of the Library association. Lond. Athe-
naeum, 1916. 350 p. 32cra. £2, 10s. 050
Issued in two forms (1) preliminary class lists,
as follows: A, Theology and philosophy; B, His-
tory; Bl, European war; C, Geography, anthro-
pology, and folk-lore; D, Sports and games; E,
Economic and political sciences; F, Education; G,
Fine arts and archaeology; H, Music; I, Language
and literature; J, Science and technology; K, Pre-
ventive medicine and hygiene; (2) annual volume,
combining in one alphabet the material of the class
lists and adding other references.
A subject index to some 13,374 articles in 420
periodicals, principally English and American, al-
though 17 French, 2 German, 2 Italian and 2 Rus-
sian periodicals are also included. Gives full title,
with occasional brief explanatory notes, author's
name, date, volume, and inclusive paging. The main
index is to subjects only, but there is also an author
index which refers to the subject list.

Similar in general plan and arrangement to the
Bibliographic der deutschen zeitschriftenliteratur
which now forms Abteilung A of the Internationale
bibliographic. Indexes about 2,000 periodicals and
general works in English and all the principal for-
eign languages except German. In the English and
American library the principal use of this index will
probably be for the large amount of French and
Italian material indexed.

Sommaire des periodiques; 1899-1911, frequency
varied, monthly (sometimes bimonthly or quarterly)
with annual author index; 1912-13, semiannual with
annual author and subject indexes. Each number is a
classed subject index arranged by the Belgian Dewey
D. C. numbers; indexes a large number of periodi-
cals, gives fairly full information for each article,
i. e. author, title, periodical volume and number. A
cumbersome but usable index, not easy to handle
PERIODICALS
for quick reference work but useful when the whole
field is to be covered, as it supplies material not
easily findable in any other way.
Discontinued 1914, because of the European war.

Monthly index to 49 general periodicals, includ-
ing a few newspapers. No annual cumulations.
Each number contains authors and subjects in one
alphabet with a separate list of book reviews at
the end. Useful in the very large library, or in
the smaller library which specializes in Dutch ma-
terial.

Paris, Argus de la presse, 1880-1914. an-
nual subs. 18 fr. 054
Not a regular general index, but a bimonthly list
of the more important articles of general interest
selected from about 1,000 French, Belgian and
other foreign periodicals and newspapers. A sub-
ject list with no author index, no annual index, no
cumulations. Gives only brief title of article, author,
title and number or date of periodical in which
found. Not satisfactory for quick reference work,
but offers the only substitute for a general French
index covering a long period and so is often useful
when it is important to get at a large amount of
French material. For the university or large refer-
ence library only.
Discontinued 1914, because of the European War.
Repertoire bibliographique des princi-
pales revues frangaises, 1897-99. Paris,

16.50 fr.; v. 2, 20 fr.; v. 3, 22 fr. 054
A useful and important index, unfortunately dis-
continued after the third volume because of lack
of support. Each volume contains: (1) a subject
index giving title of article, author's name, and title
and volume or number of the periodical and page
reference, (2) an author index giving somewhat
briefer information. Vol. 1 indexes 147 period-
icals, vol. 2, 257, and vol. 3, 346. The Societe
frangaise de bibliographic, organized in 1904,
planned to revive this index but so far the plan has
not been carried out.

1887-88; 8, 1913-14; 9, 1885-86.
A voluminous and comprehensive index valuable
because of the large number of important German
periodicals, transactions, yearbooks and other com-
posite works indexed, but difficult to use for quick
reference partly because of the abbreviation of refer-
ences and compactness of printing, and partly be-
cause the form of publication in semi-annual volumes
with no cumulation necessitates the consultation of
many alphabets-46 subject and 45 author alphabets
in the set listed above. Except in the case of vols.
34-35 which have a combined author index each
volume consists of (1) a subject index arranged
PERIODICALS
alphabetically by rather large subjects, giving for
each article indexed its title, author's name in
curves when known, reference to periodical by key
number instead of title, and volume and page refer-
ence; and (2) an author index to the subject index.
The number of periodicals indexed is very large,
ranging from 275 in the first volume to about 3,000
in later volumes. The period covered in the whole
set is 31 years, for while vol. 1 starts with 1896 the
retrospective indexing of the Erganzungsbande car-
ries the work back to 1885. Important in university
work and in large libraries which have many Ger-
man periodicals, but not generally recommended for
other libraries. Often especially important for biog-
raphy because it indexes many yearbooks of learned
societies containing obituary notices.

[suppl. 6] n. s. v. 1, 1907-12.
Supplementary volumes to be issued every six
years.
Not a general index, but a subject catalog of
some 71,198 biographical articles in the sets of 448
periodicals (16,161 volumes) contained in the library
of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. Each volume
has (1) a main subject list which gives for each
article indexed its title, author and the title and
volume or year of the periodical in which it is to
be found, and (2) a brief author index referring
to the subject list. The supplementary volumes
index both the volumes added during the period
covered and also earlier material omitted from the
first volume. The "Indice generale" refers to all
names included in the subject lists of the first
volume and supplements 1-5. Sets indexed include
the principal Italian periodicals and society trans-
actions and also many important English, French,
German and Spanish titles. In the American library
the principal use of this catalog is for the Italian
and French material indexed, but it is occasionally
useful even for the American and English material
already indexed in Poole, because it can be used
from the author as well as the subject side, and
therefore serves to supplement Poole. Useful in
the university or large reference library, but not
recommended for the small library.

Contents: v. 1, Topografi; v. 2, Norsk biografi.
Arranged by subject, each volume indexing one
subject. v. 1 (1908) indexes the topographical
articles in 75 periodicals of varying dates from about
the beginning of the 19th century to 1907; v. 2
indexes the biographical articles in more than 700
periodicals of the 19th and the first part of the
20th century, giving not only references to periodi-
cals, but also dates of birth and death and very brief
characterization for each name indexed. The list
of periodicals included in v. 2 furnishes a nearly
complete bibliography of Norwegian periodicals.
Very valuable in the large reference library or in the
library specializing in Scandinavian material.

A record and digest of current agricultural litera-
ture, not planned as an index of the subject but
covering the field so fully that it serves practically
as an index to the periodical, bulletin, and report
material on this subject, in English and the princi-
pal foreign languages. Each monthly number con-
tains a digest of recent important articles and re-
ports with exact reference to the full article. In
addition to monthly numbers there are bimonthly
abstract numbers, so that a semiannual volume con-
sists of nine numbers. There are no cumulations
of the digests, but there is an author and subject
index to each volume referring to the monthly is-
sues and for the volumes before 1911 these separate
indexes are superseded by the two general indexes
1889-1901 and 1901-11. Less easy to use for quick
reference than the new Agricultural index, but bet-
ter for scientific use as it indexes more scientific
material and includes foreign language material as
well as English.
Archaeology
Gornme, George Laurence. Index of
archaeological papers, 1665-1890. Lond.
Constable, 1907. 910 p. 22cm. 25s.
016.913
A useful author index to some 94 sets of English
archaeological periodicals and transactions of local
antiquarian societies. Gives for each article indexed
author's name, full title, periodical, volume or
date, and inclusive paging. Principally British ar-
chaeology but includes also material on classical and
other non-British antiquities. A subject index to the
same material, which was contemplated but not
undertaken when the author index was made, is now
in preparation. Continued by the following:
Index of archaeological papers published
in 1891-1910. Lond. Constable, 1892-1914.*
v. 1-20. 22cm. Is. each. 016.913
An annual continuation of Gomme's index, index-
ing the same type of material and following the
same plan as far as the author index is concerned,
but differing from the main work in that each an-
nual volume has a subject index to the author list.
While each volume nominally covers one year,
many cover a longer period since whenever a new
periodical is added to the list it is indexed back
to 1891.
Book reviews
Book review digest, 1905-16. White
Plains, N. Y. Wilson, 1905-16. v. 1-12.
26cm. $5 per year. 050
A digest and index of selected book reviews in
over 50 English and American periodicals, prin-
cipally general in character. Arranged alphabetic-
ally by author of book reviewed, with subject and
title index. For each book entered gives author,
title, place, publisher and price, a brief descriptive
note, quotations from selected book reviews with
exact reference to periodical in which review ap-
peared, and references only, without quotation, to
other reviews. Indicates length of review in num-
ber of words and whether favorable or unfavorable.
From the public library point of view and primarily
useful in the selection of books for such a library;
less useful in the college or university library partly
because of the type of book listed and partly be-
cause the reviews indexed are taken principally from
the general and not to any great extent from the
special journals. Monthly; with a semi-annual cu-
mulation in August, and an annual cumulation of
the main list in February which forms an annual
volume; the subject, title and pseudonym index
cumulates monthly, the index in a current number
referring to all previous issues of the current vol-
ume since the last cumulation.

Title varies, 1901-10 Bibliographic der deutschen

1901-10 inclusive, one volume per year, indexing
reviews of books printed in some 3,000 German
periodicals; 1911- date, two volumes per year, the
first volume of each year indexing reviews in Ger-
man periodicals, the second volume indexing re-
views in about 2,000 periodicals in other languages
than German. A very comprehensive list, including
more books of the university grade than the Book
review digest and many references to special jour-
nals, and therefore often more useful than the
Book review digest in the university library, when
only references to reviews are wanted. Does not
give digests or quotations from the reviews listed.
The volumes which index reviews in German period-
icals only cover the same list as the Bibliographic
der deutschen zeitschriften literatur (see p. 9)
and supplement that work; the volumes indexing non-
German periodicals do the same thing for the Bibh-
ographie der fremdsprachigen zeitschriften literatur
(see p. 8).

mulation of the Dramatic index published in the
quarterly numbers of the Bulletin of bibliography.
Issues for 1912-15 have appendix, Dramatic
books and plays (in English) published during
1912 — , by Henry Eastman Lower and George Heron
Milne.
An annual subject index to all articles about the
drama, the theater, actors and actresses, playwrights,
librettists, managers, etc., to all synopses of plays,
and to all stage and dramatic portraits, scenes from
plays and other theatrical illustrations contained in
about 150 English and American periodicals, and to
texts of plays whether published in book or maga-
zine form. Magazine articles are entered under
subject only, texts of plays are entered under title or
under the form heading "dramas" with cross ref-
erence from author, costume portraits are entered
under both the actor and the character. All refer-
ences are exact, »'. e. to title of periodical, volume,
date, and inclusive paging, with length of article
indicated in fractions if less than one page, and full
indication of illustrations, portraits, etc. While the
index nominally begins with 1909 there is some
retrospective indexing, e. g. the 1910 volume indexes
the Theatre back to its first volume 1906. From
1912 the dramatic books of the year are indexed
both in the main index and in the appendix, Dramatic
books and plays, which consists of (1) author list
cf books about the theater, (2) author list of play
texts, (3) title list of texts. A very useful index,
necessary in any library which makes much use oi
dramatic material. Kept to date by the quarterly
indexes in the Bulletin of bibliography.

Each volume consists of a main subject index
with brief author index to the subject part. Covers
principally 19th century material but a few
sets included in the first volume belong
to the 18th century. Indexes not only material
on technical and historical law subjects, but a great
deal of legal biography and a considerable amount
of material on political, economic, and sociological
subjects. The second volume is stronger in this
sociological material than the first. For all bio-
graphical articles included, dates of birth and death
are given. The first volume indexes practically all
articles in 158 legal periodicals (1373 volumes) all
articles on law subjects in 113 general periodicals

PERIODICALS
Philosophy and psychology
There is no cumulated index to period-
ical articles on these subjects, but the
field is fairly well covered year by year
by the following annual bibliographies
which not only list the new books in the
field but also index periodicals extensively.
Bibliographic de la philosophic frangaise,
1909-12. Paris, 1910-14. v. 1-4.
Indexes philosophical articles and book reviews in
more than 160 French and Belgian periodicals. For
full description see under Philosophy, p. 55.
Philosophic der gegenwart, 1908-13.
Heidelberg, 1910-16. v. 1-5.
Indexes articles in many important periodicals in
different languages. For full description see under
Philosophy, p. 55.
Psychological index, 1894-1915. N. Y.
Macmillan, 1898-1916. v. 1-22.
Indexes both English and foreign material. For
full description see under Philosophy, p. 55.
Portraits
A.L.A. Portrait index; index to portraits
contained in printed books and period-
icals; ed. by W: C. Lane and N. E.
Browne. Wash. Library of Congress,

An index to portraits contained in 1,181 sets
(6,216 volumes) including both books and period-
icals through the year 1904. Indexes 120,000 por-
traits of about 35,000 or 45,000 persons. Informa-
tion given includes dates of birth and death and
brief characterization of the person, artist, engraver,

work where the portrait may be found. Does not
index portraits in local histories, genealogical works,
or collections of engravings as such, or portraits of
writers included in sets of their collected works.

— Periodical articles on religion, 1890-
1899: Author index. N. Y. Scribner [1911]

An index to 58,000 articles by 21,000 writers, in
more than 600 periodicals and transactions in English
and the principal foreign languages. The subject
volume, which is arranged alphabetically, has a spe-
lial feature not ordinarily found, in indexes, t. e.
each heading used is briefly denned and the defini-
tion is followed by a reference to some encyclo-
pedia article for fuller explanation. Articles are
arranged under each heading alphabetically by
authors, and for each full reference is given, t. e.
author, title, periodical, volume, date, and inclusive
paging. The author volume indexes the same ar-
ticles as the subject volume, with equally full in-
formation, so either volume may be used inde-
pendently. Important in the theological university
and large reference libraries; not needed in small
libraries.

A subject index to the same material as the
above author catalog, classified according to the
schedules of the International catalogue of scien-
tific literature and to be published as separate Index-
volumes for each of the seventeen sciences of the
schedules of the International catalogue, viz. Math-
ematics, Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy,
Meteorology, Mineralogy, Geology, Geography, Pa-
laeontology, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Anatomy,
Anthropology, Physiology, and Bacteriology. Of
the seventeen indexes projected only the first
three have been issued so far. These index
116,687 articles from 1,555 periodicals divided
as follows: Mathematics, 38,748 articles from
700 serials; Mechanics, 21,295 articles from
PERIODICALS
15
959 serials; Physics, 56,644 articles from 1,261
serials. The subject index gives sufficiently full in-
formation to be used independently of the author
volumes, t. e. author's name, brief title, periodical,
volume date and paging — though for full title refer-
ence must be made to the author index.
When finished the index will constitute a monu-
mental record of the material on these seventeen sci-
ences to be found in all the principal scientific period-
icals, in different languages, of the 19th century.
Continued for material since 1900 by the Interna-
tional catalogue of scientific literature.

erature. Published for the International
. council by the Royal society of London.
Lond. 1902-16. 016.5
An annual bibliography of both books and period-
ical articles on each of the 17 sciences covered.
Indexes a large number of important scientific jour-
nals, but not very satisfactory for up-to-date refer-
ence work because of the delay in publication, each
issue being usually about two years behind. For
full description see under Science, p. 89.
Social sciences
Bibliographic der sozialwissenschaften ;
1906-16. Hrsg. von Hermann Beck. Berl.
Springer, 1906-16. 016.3
A very full index of the periodical as well as
the book literature on the various social, economic
and political sciences, in all the principal foreign
languages. Not easy to use quickly, but indis-
pensable when the complete literature of the sub-
ject, especially the foreign literature, is needed.
For full description see under Social sciences, p. 65.
Public affairs information service. Bul-
letin of the Public affairs information
service, a co-operative clearing house of
public affairs information. 1st annual
cumulation. White Plains, N. Y., Wil-
son, 191 5-. v. 1. 26em. 016.3
1915-comp. by O. L. Evans and M. E. Egbert.
Issued in three forms: (1) weekly bulletins, (2)
bimonthly cumulations, cumulating throughout the
year until the last issue, November, indexes the ma-
terial of twelve months and forms (3) the perma-
nent annual volume. Apply to publishers for price.
A combination of a subject index to recent pe-
riodicals and books and a digest of recent events
in the fields of sociology, political science and eco-
nomics, particularly the practical sides of these
subjects. Indexed, 1915, 150 periodicals and about
200 books. All the material indexed is in English
and a fair proportion of the periodicals indexed are
already covered by the general indexes. Useful,
but its high cost is prohibitive for all except very
large or highly specialized libraries.

An alphabetical subject index, with no author
index, to about 250 technical and engineering period-
icals in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish
and Dutch; about three quarters of the periodicals
indexed are in English. Gives fairly full informa-
tion, i. e. title, author, brief digest or description of
the article, length in number of words, periodical
and exact date. Does not give volume or page.

with a different arrangement t. e. is a classed sub-
ject index, not an alphabetical subject index. Ma-
terial is grouped in 8 large classes, Civil engineer-
ing, Electrical engineering, Industrial economy,
Marine and naval engineering, Mechanical engineer-
ing, Mining and metallurgy, Railway engineering,
Street and electric railways. Each large group is
divided into many sub-classes.

Bimonthly index, cumulating throughout the year,
with the December number forming an annual cumu-
lation. Indexes many of the same periodicals as the
Engineering index (annual) but differs from
that index in having (1) a rather wider range of
subjects, (2) an alphabetical instead of a classed ar-
rangement. More useful than the Engineering index
in the general library or for quick reference. In
general follows the same plan of indexing as the
Readers' guide except that articles are indexed only
under subjects and not under authors also. Indexes
only material in English. The annual for 1915
indexes 79 periodicals. Indexes no foreign period-
icals, while the Engineering index includes many
important foreign periodicals.

A very useful list for current periodicals, excel-
lent for identifying titles, for securing the informa-
tion needed before ordering, for some historical in-
formation, and for subject lists. Includes only Paris
publications; for provincial periodicals the Annuaire
de la presse franchise must be used.
A trade edition of the above, entitled Catalogue
tarif des journaux, differs from the Annuaire des

instead of November of each year, and gives both
subscription prices and trade discount prices.

UNION LISTS
A union list of periodicals is a catalog,
usually in alphabetical title arrangement,
of the periodicals to be found in the li-
braries in a special region, with indication
of the libraries containing any given title.
There are two types of such lists, (1) lists
of periodicals currently received (2) lists
of sets, with exact indication of what por-
tion of each set is in the libraries listed.
The second type is more useful. Such
lists are of great reference importance
since they often show where a library can
find a periodical or volume not in its own
collections. The principal use of such
lists is for reference and inter-library loan
purposes but they are often useful also as
catalogers' aids. Foreign union lists are
naturally not useful for inter-library loans,
but are often very helpful in identifying
foreign titles.

NEWSPAPERS
Newspapers are often very important
in certain lines of reference work. Cur-
rent issues are helpful for reference work
on questions of the day, current history,
politics, local happenings, current or local
opinion, etc. and back volumes serve the
same purpose for the current history, etc.,
of an earlier period, and are particularly
important as contemporary records, as
registers of contemporary opinion and as
records of facts often too small or too
local in their application to be included
in the general reference books. Bound
files of newspapers are therefore import-
ant additions to the reference equipment
of any library which can afford and use
22
NEWSPAPERS
them. As such files are very expensive to
bind and shelve, care should be taken to
choose for preservation only those actually
needed, and especially those which from
their general character, indexes, etc. are
most likely to be useful. To make intel-
ligent use of newspapers the reference
worker needs the same type of reference
aids that he needs for periodicals, i. e., (1)
indexes, (2) bibliographies and (3) lists of
other libraries. These differ however in
some ways from the corresponding aids
for periodicals. There is for example no
general index to newspapers similar to
Poole. Such a work would be a practical
impossibility, and moreover is not needed
in just the same way as an index to period-
icals. Newspapers all publish reports of
any event of general interest, at approx-
imately the same time, generally one day
after it occurred, and the substance of
such information is largely the same in
all important papers. The date of any
event is the clue needed and an index of
dates, or an index to any one newspaper
will furnish a workable index to all news-
papers for subjects of general interest.
This, of course, is not true of purely local
or special articles.
NEWSPAPER INDEXES
AMERICAN AND ENGLISH
Index to dates of current events,
1911-13. N. Y. Bowker, 1912-14. 3 v.
24cm. $4 per year. 070
Monthly, with quarterly and semi-annual cumu-
lations. Arranged alphabetically by subjects and
names, followed by date of occurrence of each event.
The annual cumulation is included in the American
library annual, and is not published separately.
While this index does not refer directly to news-
papers the fact that it gives the dates of all events
listed makes It serviceable as an index to all news-
papers as far as general news is concerned. It can-
not of course be used as an index for local news
not of general interest or for special articles or edi-
torials. For a similar index before 1911 see the
Index to dates included as part of the Annual liter-
ary index 1892-1904 and the Annual library index
1905-1910. Discontinued after 1914 and succeeded
by the following:
Information annual, a continuous cyclo-
pedia and digest of current events. 1915- .
N. Y. Bowker, 1916-. v. 1-. 25cm. 031
Issued in three forms or sections: (1) monthly,
(2) quarterly, (3) a*nnual, which can be subscribed
for separately or in combination. Price, monthly
$3 a year, quarterly* $2, monthly and quarterly $4,
monthly, quarterly and annual $6, annual alone $4.
A continuation and expansion of the Index to
dates. Gives in addition to date a concise descriptive
summary of each event and so serves the double
purpose of newspaper index and encyclopedia of
current events. A very useful compilation.

A carefully made quarterly index, with entries
under small subjects, exact reference to date, page
and column, and plentiful cross references to names
and related topics. The brief synopses of articles
answer some questions without reference to the
paper itself. Each volume consists of four parts.

GENERAL LITERATURE AND
ESSAYS
"A.L.A." index; an index to general
literature. 2d ed. enl. and brought down
to Jan. 1, 1900. Bost. [A.L.A. publishing
board] 1901. 679 p. 27cm. $6. 040
— Supplement 1900-1910. Chic. A.L.A.
publishing board, 1914. 223 p. 27cm. $4.
A subject index which attempts to do for books
of essays and general literature what Poole's index
does for periodicals.
"The general purpose was to index as far as
possible all books common to our libraries which
treat several subjects under one title and to the
contents of which the ordinary catalogue furnishes
no guide, although they are generally treated an-
alytically in the more elaborate catalogues, and to
save libraries in the future from the necessity of
repeating each for itself the analytical work."—
Preface.
The second edition indexes books belonging to
the following classes: (1) Essays and similar col-
lections of critical biographical and other mono-
graphs; (2) Books of travel and general history
whose chapters or parts are worthy of separate ref-
erence; (3) Reports and publications of boards and
associations dealing with sociological matters, and
publications of historical and literary societies; (4)
Many miscellaneous books and some public docu-
ments.
Includes only books in English and books found
in most libraries. Indexing is by catchword sub-
jects, not catalog subjects. The second edition
was supplemented by the annual Index to general
literature, included in the Annual literary (library)
index 1900-1910. These annual supplements are
now superseded by the Supplement 1900-10 which
cumulates all the material for the annual lists and
adds reference from 125 new books not previously
indexed adding a total of over 500 books to the
several thousand covered by the main work. An
informal supplement is found in the 2d and 3d
five-yearly volumes of the Readers' guide, 1905-14,
which index the contents of some 597 composite
books, in addition to the regular indexing of period-
icals (see p. ).
Cotgreave, Alfred. A contents-subject
index to general and periodical literature.
Lond. Stock, 1900. 743 p. por. 18cm.

"The chief aim of the work is not to give every-
thing which appears in a select number of works
on a few selected subjects, but rather to cover as
many subjects as possible, and give a few references
to each one." — Preface.
The indexes described above cover a
considerable portion of the composite
books in English most commonly found
in medium-sized libraries but omit many
older and less common works which are
quite as valuable though found in fewer
libraries. Analytic subject references to
the contents of many such books and also
analytic author and title references to im-
portant collections, both English and for-
eign may be found in printed catalogs of
certain libraries, such as the Peabody in-
stitute, the Boston Athenaeum, the Lon-
don library, etc. For full description of
these catalogs see under Library catalogs,
p. 194.)
The index volume to Brewer's World's
best essays (see under Literature, p. 107)
is often useful for material not covered
by the A.L.A. index.

A useful handbook, when briefs only are wanted,
containing briefs for the affirmative and negative,
but no bibliographies, for some 164 questions of
current interest. Briefs are written by an English
lawyer, and pros and cons of the same question are
arranged in parallel columns for ease of comparison.
Written from the English point of view, so some of
the topics included are of less interest outside of
the United Kingdom.

DISSERTATIONS
Catalogs or bibliographies of disserta-
tions are extremely important reference
tools in certain types of libraries, al-
though almost negligible in other types.
Dissertations or theses presented by can-
didates for the doctorate form a very spe-
cial class of publications. As such degrees
are given only for original work, each
thesis must deal with some phase of a
subject which has not been previously
covered by a printed work. Each thesis
therefore at the date of its publication is
usually the only thing in print on that
particular phase of its subject and its
value to the reader interested in that sub-
ject is obvious. While some disserta-
tions are issued by regular publishers and
so appear in the ordinary trade bibliog-
raphies, most are privately printed an<4
are listed only in the special bibliographies
of dissertations. These bibliographies
have therefore a distinct value in libra: i<s
which make much use of thesis material-
i. e., the large reference, special, and Ml ?•
versity libraries, and serve the following
purposes: (1) to show the student who
is trying to select a thesis subject whether
that subject has already been written on;
(2) to show the order department whether
a publication not listed in the ordinary
trade lists is a dissertation and if so from
what university it can be obtained; (3) to
show the reference worker what material
has been printed on very special or un-
usual subjects.

There is no official list for the period
before 1884, so for that period the follow-

very brief biographical data. Special value is for
the full analysis of contents. Indexes: (1) subjects;
(2) authors.

SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS
The serial publications issued by learned societies serve somewhat the same kind ot
reference use as do the more general periodicals, i. c., they supplement the book col-
lections of the library by furnishing articles more up to date, or more authoritative
and special, than the book literature of the subject in question. Papers printed in
academy and society transactions are usually based directly upon original research
and are scholarly and scientific in character, and are therefore more valuable than
articles in the more general periodicals. For this same reason, as they appeal to a
more limited public, they are less often indexed in the general indexes of periodicals,
although generally indexed in the special bibliographies and indexes. To use society
transactions intelligently the reference worker needs the same kind of aids needed
in work with periodicals, i. e., indexes, bibliographies, and union lists or catalogues.
For indexes use the indexes to periodicals, particularly the special indexes, described in
the preceding chapter. The union lists of periodicals include many society transactions
as well. For bibliographies, however, a special set of publications is available. Both
the reference worker and the cataloger frequently need to look up information about
the history, organization, officers, publications, addresses, etc., of the various learned
societies, and for such purposes the following bibliographies, yearbooks and handbooks
are useful. Certain of these, e. g., Griffin, Terry, etc., are so arranged that they serve
also as indexes to the publications covered.

A monumental undertaking, not yet completed but
forming already the most important work on French
societies undertaken so far. Arranged alphabetically
first by departements, then by towns and under each
town by the name of the society. For each society
gives brief history, note of all changes of name,
suspensions, mergers, etc., full titles, dates, etc., of
all of its publications and full contents of each
volume. Not limited to societies in France but in-
cludes also those in the French colonies and abroad.

about the societies and for the titles and collation
of the sets of their publications, but can not be used
rapidly for the analytical material. An alphabetical
author and subject index has been projected and if
this is ever published the work will become enor-
mously useful as an index to the periodicals and
society literature of French history and related
topics. Continued on the same plan and scale by

ENCYCLOPEDIAS
A good encyclopedia or collection of encyclopedias forms the backbone of a great
part of the reference work in any library. Such books should be selected with great
care and used intelligently with full understanding on the part of the reference
assistants of the relative merits and defects of the different works. The making of
an authoritative up to date encyclopedia is a very expensive undertaking, calling for
heavy outlay for experienced writers, good editorial oversight, and careful and accurate
printing and proofreading. Such work can not be done cheaply and reputable pub-
lishers recognize this fact and spend what is necessary to produce an authoritative,
well edited work. As the immediate profits from cheap work are much larger, how-
ever, and as the ordinary buyer often does not discriminate between good and poor
encyclopedias, unscrupulous publishers will sometimes utilize cheap hack writers or
reprint with only slight changes, old, out of date material and thus produce ency-
clopedias which are only made to sell, and which from the point of view of any real
authority are nearly worthless though perhaps costing the library almost as much as
the really good works. An encyclopedia should never be purchased without a full
knowledge of its character and rigid examination of the book itself. If the librarian
does not have the requisite knowledge, purchase should be deferred until the book has
been examined and reviewed by an expert, otherwise library money may be wasted.
If the library can possibly afford the initial outlay, a good expensive encyclopedia may
be the cheapest in the long run, but if this cannot possibly be afforded, it is better
to buy a second hand copy of the next to the last edition of a thoroughly good work
than to buy a cheap new encyclopedia, of the hack-work or commercial type. An
encyclopedia that was once -good is never entirely superseded, and this fact should be
taken into account if the publisher of a new work or new edition offers to allow a
discount on the new edition for the return of the old. The small library may be
justified in giving up its old edition, but the large library which does much reference
work should keep one copy of such older works, which will often be useful. Older
encyclopedias are helpful: (1) in supplying information as to the condition or view
of a given subject, art, or science at the date when the book was compiled, and (2)
in supplying minor biographical and other articles omitted from the later edition to
make space for other material.
The three cardinal points which decide the standing of an encyclopedia are: (1)
its authority (including the qualities of accuracy, up-to-dateness and completeness),
(2) satisfactory mechanical arrangement, which should be such that information actually
included in the work can be found easily, (3) the extent to which the encyclopedia
sends the reader on to other sources of information, i. e.t its bibliographies. In exam-
ining an encyclopedia to determine its standing on these three points, note the fol-
lowing: (1) publisher— is he well known, and reputable, or entirely unknown; (2) date,
not of publication but of copyright; (3) editor— is he capable and has he really edited
the book or only allowed the use of his name; (4) general appearance of the book,
is it cheap and indicative of hasty and inaccurate work or are both paper and typography
good; (5) preface — read publisher's or editor's own statement and try to check up his
claims by his accomplishment; (7) authority— are the articles by specialists and signed;
(8) are the articles full and adequate, or too brief; (9) bibliographies, are these always
given, and in such form as to be usable; (10) arrangement of the work, is it clear, easily
32
ENCYCLOPEDIAS, AMERICAN
used, are there enough cross references; if arranged by large subjects, or not
alphabetically, is there an alphabetical index of small subjects; (11) quality of
illustrations.
AMERICAN
Encyclopedia Americana; a general dic-
tionary of the arts and sciences, literature,
history, biography, geography, etc. Ed-
itor-in-chief, F. C. Beach. N. Y. The
Americana co. [c 1903-04] 16 v. illus. pi.
ports, maps. 26cm. $6 per vol. 031
Covers much the same ground as the first edition
of the New international and occasionally supple-
ments that work, especially in the fields of science
and technology in which the Americana has been
thought to be somewhat stronger. Has signed
articles, bibliographies, good illustrations. Unpaged.
Less important now than when first issued because
not now up to date. There have been several
partial revisions; the latest partial revision has
title Americana, a universal reference library com-
prising the arts and sciences, literature, history,
biography, geography, commerce, etc., of the world.
(N. Y. Sci. Amer. comp.. co. 1912. 22 v. $122)
This revision is printed principally from the same
plates as the edition of 1903-06, but with new
articles and illustrations added, and some changes
in the older articles to include events since 1903
and add a few recent bibliographical references.
New articles added are largely in the field of sci-
ence and technology.

Articles are much briefer than those in either
the New international or the Americana and there
is much less bibliography. The special feature upon
which most stress is laid is the loose-leaf feature
which enables the publisher to keep the work up
to date by the issue of new pages, supplied reg-
ularly to subscribers, to be inserted in the place
of, or in addition to, the original pages whenever
changed information and new events make new
articles necessary.

Editors: Frank Moore Colby and Talcott Wil-

First edition 1902-04, in 17 vols. A later edition
not entirely revised but with new material and
new maps was published in 1907 in 20 vols. An-
other partial revision in 1912 incorporated the pop-
ulation figures of the United States census of 1910.
The 2d edition, 1914-16, is thoroughly revised and
reset and contains about 80,000 articles as against
the 65,000 of the 1st edition.
An encyclopedia of the best modern type, with
adequate and authoritative articles, many good il-
lustrations, and excellent and very useful bibli-
ographies. Important articles are by specialists,
minor articles by a capable office staff. Articles are
all unsigned, but there is at the beginning of each
volume a list of the authors of the principal articles
in that volume. Many very small subjects, includ-
ing even titles of famous works of literature, names
of fictitious characters, etc., are given separate
treatment, pronunciation is marked, and the sys-
tem of cross references is good. There are many
biographical articles, about 20,000 in all, includ-
ing articles on persons who have come into prom-
inence during the European war and a consider-
able proportion of Latin-American biography. The
numerous maps are of high grade, well to date and
mounted on special "insets" in such a way that
they can be removed and replaced by new revised
maps to be supplied free to subscribers as need of
change arises. The strongest feature of the en-'
cyclopedia, however, is its excellent and usable bib-
liographies. A special bibliographical feature which
is often very useful is the reference, in articles
on foreign authors, to translations of their works
a.s well as to the best editions in the original.
On the whole, especially for purposes of ready
reference the New international is the most fre-
quently useful of all encyclopedias in English, al-
though for some English and European subjects and
especially for cases where very full and scholarly
treatment of a subject is called for the longer
articles in the Britannica are to be preferred. A
supplementary volume, unnumbered, contains courses
of reading and study.
Issued in various bindings and on both ordinary
paper and India paper. For library use the ordi-
nary paper edition bound in library buckram ac-
cording to A. L. A. specifications is to be preferred.

ENCYCLOPEDIAS, AMERICAN
and Johnson's universal cyclopaedia. A concise,
well-edited, practical work, with entry under small
subject, signed articles, and bibliographies. Before
the publication of the 1st edition of the New in-
ternational, Johnson's cyclopaedia was one of the
most useful American encyclopedias, but it has
not been recently revised, is now considerably out
of date and is superseded for many purposes al-
though still useful for occasional articles.
The encyclopedias noted above repre-
sent the most used American works of
recent or comparatively recent date. An
older work which was once an excellent
authority, though now superseded for all
except occasional uses, is the American
cyclopedia, ed. by George Ripley and C. A.
Dana (N. Y. Appleton, 1873-1883. 16 v.)
An annual supplement to this, entitled Ap-
pletons' annual cyclopaedia is still useful.
For description see under Annual ency-
clopedias, p. 34.
The large standard encyclopedias are to
be preferred for most purposes, but some
of the many smaller works are occasional-
ly needed, either as substitutes when the
large works cannot be afforded, or in ad-
dition to the latter for briefer articles or
for occasional facts not found in the larger
encyclopedias.

well up to date than the latest edition of Haydn.
(See under History, p. 161.)
A later edition (N. Y. Harper, 1906) contains
some changes when the plates could be altered
without too great cost, but there are not sufficient
additions to make this edition necessary in li-
braries possessing the earlier one.

Originally published as an annual supplement
to the American cyclopaedia. Of little use now as
a supplement, but still very useful as an independ-
ent publication, especially for the following: (1)
for record of the events of a given year, especially
AMERICAN, ENGLISH
35
the political, governmental, economic and military
events, which are given with greater detail in this
year by year record than in later general accounts;
volumes covering the Civil War and Reconstruction
periods are especially useful to students of Ameri-
can history; (2) for many comparatively minor ar-
ticles, particularly obituaries and biographies, which
are either omitted from later encyclopedias or given
briefer treatment than in the annual volume for the
year when the person was of especial interest. For
somewhat similar record after 1907, see New in-
ternational year book.

Planned as a supplement to the New international
encyclopaedia, volumes 1907-13 supplementing the
first edition, volumes 1914—, the second edition.
The volume for 1907 contains, in addition to the
record for that year, brief summaries of the events
oi 1903-06. An excellent annual encyclopedia,
compiled and arranged on the same plan as the
New international encyclopaedia and useful both as
a supplement to that work and as an annual record
of the progress and events in any subject. Espe-
cially useful for biography.

The most famous encyclopedia in English and
for some purposes the best. The first edition was
published in 1771 and the ninth edition (the last
complete revision before the present eleventh edi-
tion) in 1875-88, the tenth edition, published 1902-
03 was not a revision of the whole work but
merely a 10 volume supplement to the 9th edition
issued to bring that edition more nearly to date
and linked to it by a general index, vol. 35. The
eld Britannica type, which persisted through tbe
9th edition, called for a collection of importani
monographs on large subjects, by specialists, often
very scholarly and important, with good bibli-
ographies, good illustrations, but with no separate
treatment of small subjects and no biographical
sketches of living persons. Small subjects were
treated only as parts of larger subjects and could
be found only through the index. This plan was
modified somewhat in the supplementary 10th edi-
tion and still more, to meet modern demands, in
the present or llth edition.
The llth is based upon the 9th and 10th edi-
tions but revised throughout, rearranged and with
much new material added. The features to be
noted are: (1) long signed articles by specialists
with (2) excellent bibliography appended to most
articles; (3) many excellent illustrations, both in
the text and in black and white plates and some
colored plates; (4) inclusion of many smaller sub-
jects not separately treated in earlier editions and
(5) inclusion of biographical articles on persons
still living; (6) very detailed index of small sub-
jects; (7) almost equal up-to-dateness of all parts
of the alphabet due to a nearly simultaneous com-
pletion and publication. Pronunciation is not marked.
In general the articles are excellent but a few
show insufficient revision of earlier material espe-
cially in the bibliographies. A point which makes
for inaccuracy in quick reference work, unless the
reference worker uses the index constantly, is the
omission of all "see references" from the body
of the book and their inclusion in the index only,
although "see also" references are given at the ends
of articles. There are some minor differences
between the English and American edition, e. g.
the English edition has clearer impression of most
of the illustrations, especially the plates, and the
American edition gives for American cities the
population statistics of the 1910 census instead of
the figures of the 1900 census given in the English
edition. Issued in two forms, on ordinary paper
and on India paper, the latter not recommended
for libraries on account of its tendency to cling
and fold. The ordinary paper edition was issued
in three bindings, ordinary cloth and in three spe-
cial library bindings: (1) buckram, A. L. A. speci-
fications (2) half morocco, Lib. assoc. [Eng.]
specifications (3) half morocco special Chivers bind-
ing, this latter for English edition only, and now
out of print.
A "handy volume edition" was published in
1915-16 and is sold by Sears, Roebuck and co.,
Chicago. This edition is an exact photographic
reproduction, reduced one-third in size, of the
standard edition- described above, and the text is
not revised or altered in any way. The type is
small but very clear, and is usable. The illustra-
tions in the text are reduced in proportion and
lose somewhat in the process but the maps and
plates are not reduced at all, as it was found possi-
ble, by folding the maps and dividing the illustra-
tions which were formerly grouped on one plate,
36
ENGLISH, FRENCH
to keep these illustrations of the same size as in
the original edition. This reduced edition is
planned for the private purchaser and is not
recommended for a library which can afford to pur-
chase the work in its original form, but to the
small library with a book fund which does not ad-
mit the purchase of the original edition this repro-
duction offers a fairly satisfactory substitute. It
is published in several bindings and on both India
paper and ordinary paper .but for library purposes
the ordinary paper edition at $48 is to be pre-
ferred.
Everyman encyclopaedia, ed. by An-
drew Boyle. Lond. Dent, N. Y. Dutton,
[1913]. 12 v. illus. 17"". 18s. $6. 032
A good small encyclopedia for the private library
or small library which cannot afford a larger work.
The articles are concise and generally accurate,
although American subjects are treated somewhat
less adequately than English. Bibliographies often
omitted but when given are generally good. Few
illustrations. An excellent work for the price but
not a substitute for one of the larger standard
encyclopedias.

The most important French encyclopedia and one

authoritative signed articles, excellent bibliographies,
many entries under small subjects. Somewhat out
of date now for sciences, etc., in which there have
been recent developments, but an excellent authority
for other subjects, especially for mediaeval and
renaissance subjects, and for literature, history,
biography, etc., of continental Europe. Very good
for French and other continental biography. The
bibliographies are especially important. Has fewer
illustrations and plates than recent English or
American encyclopedias, but what there are, are
good.

A famous encyclopedia, well edited and well
written, once of first importance and still useful in
many cases if allowance is made for the fact that
it is not up to date and must be checked, on im-
portant points, by occasional reference to more
recent authorities. Combines the features of
dictionary and encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia
is an extreme example of entry under small sub-
ject, including many articles, some of considerable
length, on individual works of literature, e. g.
poems, plays, novels, romances, etc., and a very
large amount of minor biography not included in
other general encyclopedias. Good for questions
of European literature, biography and history. Pink
index pages referring to articles in the two supple-
ments have been issued for insertion at the back
ot each of the original 15 volumes. As these were
riot issued until after the publication of the supple-
ments they are not included in earlier sets, but
may be purchased separately and inserted; price

Not an abridgment or revision of the above, but
an entirely new work of a more popular character,
with briefer articles, and profusely illustrated in
both black and white and colors. Preserves much
of the old Larousse feature of separate treatment
of very small subjects. Especially useful for cer-
tain kinds of questions about works of art, as one
of its special features is the inclusion of separate
articles on individual works of art, e. g. paintings,
statues, etc., entered under their titles or subjects,
and accompanied by small but usable illustrations.
Contains a large amount of biography but com-
paratively little bibliography. For popular, not
scholarly use.

An excellent monthly supplement to the Nouveau
Larousse, with the same size and style of page,
and same type of articles and illustrations. Each
monthly number is alphabetical, there are annual
indexes for each year, to be used until a volume is
completed, and a final alphabetical index for each
volume. Articles are well up to date and numbers
are issued promptly. Good work for contemporary
French biography, obituaries, portraits, etc. The
issues for 1914-16 contain many articles on current

forms, flags, coins, etc., of each country, and the
many reproductions of paintings and other works
of art given usually under title and sometimes
under the artist's name.

DICTIONARIES
For a general survey of the whole field of language dictionaries consult the
article "Dictionary" in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, llth edition. This is valuable
for its historical information, but the appended bibliography has not been sufficiently
revised to include the best recent dictionaries of the various languages.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
For an interesting and authoritative survey of the history and development of
the English dictionary consult Sir James A. H. Murray's Evolution of English
lexicography, Ox. Univ. press, 1901, 51p.
Dictionaries are the main sources for information about words, their spelling,
pronunciation, meaning, derivation, etc. Theoretically the dictionary is concerned
only with the word, not with the thing represented by the word, differing in this
respect from the encyclopedia which gives information primarily about the thing.
Practically, however, the large modern dictionary is very often encyclopedic and gives
information about the thing as well as the word, thus combining the features of the
two types of reference books. As the large English dictionary is the most familiar
"family reference book," this encyclopedic feature has been continually strengthened
by the addition of many special lists and excellent illustrations, until the best modern
works of this sort can now be used for many more purposes than information about
words. The student of reference books should familiarize himself with the special
features and .supplementary lists of each of the great dictionaries if he is to make
each of these books serve all the purposes that it can be made to serve.
Dictionaries should be purchased cautiously. Like encyclopedias they are expen-
sive undertakings for the publisher, and an unscrupulous publisher may try to increase
immediate profits by using cheap work, by reprinting without revising some older
work the copyright of which has expired, or by other unjustifiable measures. The
prospective buyer should use the same care recommended in the case of encyclopedias.
In studying an English dictionary the student should follow the general directions
for examining reference books, and should also note carefully the following points:
(1) period of the language covered; (2) vocabulary — extent and how counted, special
elements included, e.g. slang, dialect, scientific terms, etc.; (3) treatment of each word
with reference to (a) spelling, (b) syllabication and hyphenization, (c) pronunciation,
(d) etymology, (e) history, (f) definition, (g) illustrative quotations — are they given
freely and with exact reference, (h) standard and usage — is a word indicated as
obsolete, colloquial, etc., (i) encyclopedic information, (j) synonyms, antonyms; (4)
illustrations; (5) special types of words included in addition to the ordinary vocabulary,
f.g. Christian names, foreign phrases, geographical names — to what extent are these
included and where, i.e. in separate lists or in the main vocabulary; (6) special features
and treatment — does the dictionary stand especially for any one thing, historical
information, simplified spelling, etc.
Dictionaries of the English language have been divided rather arbitrarily, accord-
ing to their place of compilation and publication, into American dictionaries and
English dictionaries. Of course both types cover the same field, the English language
as a whole, and conform in the main to the same standards, but there are certain
39
40
DICTIONARIES
minor differences. In cases where there are differences in spelling, pronunciation,
meaning, etc., each dictionary will generally give both usages, but the English work
will prefer the English usage or form, while the American work will prefer the
American. An American dictionary generally includes more Americanisms, an English
dictionary more local English terms and colonial words.

Published and originally sold by Century co., but
no longer handled by that firm. Now sold by
Encyclopaedia Britannica co., New York.
First edition 1889-91, 6 v., with two supplemen-
tary volumes, Cyclopedia of names, 1894, and Atlas
1897; partially revised from time to time and plates
altered by the cutting out of some of the original
material and the insertion of new information, but
never entirely revised and reset. Revisions to note
especially are: (1) Edition of 1901, 10 v., v. 1-8,
Dictionary, v. 9, Names, v. 10, Atlas; (2) two
supplementary volumes published 1909, numbered
v. 11-12 to continue the 1901 edition and contain-
ing about 100,000 new words, senses and phrases
and a 92 page supplement to the Cyclopedia of
names; and (3) the 1911 edition, 12 v.
Contents: v. 1-10, Dictionary; v. 11, Cyclopedia
of names; v. 12, Atlas.
Printed from the same plates as the earlier edi-
tions but with alterations in the plates to include a
considerable amount of new material. In addition
there is bound at the end of each volume the corre-
sponding portion of the alphabet from the two sup-
plementary volumes published in 1909, making two
alphabets in each volume, linked together by cross-
references.
The most comprehensive and detailed American
dictionary and the best example of the encyclopedic
type. Its special features are its free inclusion and
careful treatment of the technical terms of the
various sciences, arts, trades and professions, its
excellent illustrations and plates, and, particularly,
the large amount of encyclopedic material included.
This last feature makes the work almost as much
an encyclopedia as a dictionary.

First edition 1893 had title Standard dictionary;
a new edition, 1901, had 85 pages of addenda con-
taining 13,000 new words but was otherwise printed
from the same plates as the first edition; the New
standard is a thorough revision of the 1893 edition,
reset and printed from new plates throughout.
Contents: (1) Dictionary, including in one
alphabet all ordinary dictionary words and also
the various proper names, i. e. biographical, biblio-
graphical, geographical, mythological, biblical, etc.,
which were given in separate lists in the first edi-
tion; (2) Appendix: Disputed pronunciations, Rules
for simplified spelling, Foreign words and phrases,
Statistics of population, History of the world day
by day (this last in "subscription ed." only).
A serviceable one volume work, the most re-
cently revised of American dictionaries and there-
fore often the most useful for new words. Its
special feature is emphasis upon current informa-
tion, i. e. present day meaning, pronunciation, spell-
ing and the subordination of the historical to the
current information. Full vocabulary, about 450,000
words including 65,000 proper names, aims to in-
clude all live words of the language in standard
speech and literature of the day and terms com-
monly used dialectically by large numbers of people
in different parts of the English speaking world.
Prefers simpler spelling and when several forms are
used by authorities indicates those used by Amer-
ican philological association, American spelling re-
form association, and Simplified spelling board.
Marks syllabication and hyphenated words plainly,
using single hyphen for the first and double hyphen
for the second; indicates pronunciation by two re-
spellings, (1) by the scientific alphabet, N.E.A.,
and (2) by the ordinary respelling used in text-
books. Gives antonyms as well as synonyms. Con-
tains considerable encyclopedic information and
many illustrations and good colored plates.
Published in both a "regular" and a "subscrip-
tion" edition. The regular edition does not con-
tain the appendix "History of the world day by

The oldest and most famous American dictionary,
a good all round dictionary with no marked speciali-
zation or bias, well edited, reliable, and noted par-
ticularly for the clearness of its definitions. The
most used, and for general purposes the most use-
ful, of the one volume dictionaries, although as it
has been less recently revised than the New
Standard it is less useful than that work for very
recent words or meanings. A special feature in
the arrangement .is the divided page, containing in
the upper part the main words of the language and
in the lower part, in finer print, minor words,
foreign phrases, abbreviations, etc. Contains con-
siderable encyclopedic matter, about 6,000 illustra-
tions and a number of good colored plates.

Known variously as Murray's dictionary, the New

history of the work see preface to volume one, and
also Murray's Evolution of English lexicography.
The great dictionary of the language, compiled on
a different plan from any of the other standard Eng-
lish dictionaries and serving a different purpose. It
is based upon the application of the historical
method to the life and use of words and its purpose
is to show the history of every word included from
the date of its introduction into the language, show-
ing differences in meaning, spelling, pronunciation,
usage, etc., at different periods of the last 800 years,
and supporting such information by numerous quo-
tations from the works of more than 5,000 authors
of all periods, including all writers whatever before
the 16th century and as many as possible of the im-
portant writers since then. The vocabulary is very
full, and is intended to include all words now in
use or known to have been in use since 1150, exclud-
ing only words which had become obsolete by 1150.
Within these chronological limits, aims to include:
(1) all common words of speech and literature, and
all words that approach these in character, the
limits being extended further into science and
philosophy than into slang and cant; (2) in scientific
and technical terminology, all words English in
form except those of which an explanation would
be intelligible only to a specialist, and such words
not English in form as are in general use or belong
to the more familiar language of science; (3) dia-
lectal words before 1500, omitting dialectal words
after that date except when they continue the his-
tory of a word once in general use, illustrate the
history of a literary word or have a literary cur-
rency. Words included are classified as (1) main
words, (2) subordinate words, (3) combinations;
information for all main words is entered under its
DICTIONARIES
current modern or most usual spelling, or if obso-
lete under -most typical later spelling, with cross
references from all other forms. Information given
about each main word is very full and includes
(1) Identification, including (a) usual or typical
spelling, (b) pronunciation indicated by respelling
in an amplified alphabet or in case df obsolete
words by marking of stress only, (c) grammatical
designation, (d) specification, c. g. musical term,
etc., (e) status, if peculiar, c. g. obsolete, archaic,
etc., (f) earlier spelling, (g) inflexions; (2)
Morphology, including derivation, subsequent form
history, etc., (3) Signification, arranged in groups
and historically, with marking of obsolete senses,
erroneous uses, etc.; (4) Quotations, arranged
chronologically to illustrate each sense of a word,
about one quotation for each century, given with
exact refe'rence.
The most important use of this dictionary is for •
\istorical information about a word but it has many
other secondary uses; e. g. while not intentionally
encyclopedic it has a good deal of encyclopedic in-
formation including some not given in other diction-
aries, and while not specializing in slang it does
include many colloquial and slang words, Amer-
icanisms, etc., and where such words are included
the information is often better than in the special
slang dictionaries.

excellent small desk dictionary, based upon the
work done for the New English dictionary.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Foreign dictionaries are important in
any library, though their use will vary
greatly according to the size and type of
the library and the character of the li-
brary clientele. The needs of the small
library used by English speaking readers
will be met by a modest equipment of
French, German and Latin dictionaries,
while the small or branch library in a
locality which has a considerable immi-
grant population will need also the dic-
tionaries of the languages of these im-
migrants. Large public libraries and es-
pecially university libraries need the best
dictionaries of all principal languages and
many minor languages.
Two main types of dictionaries are rep-
resented in the following list: (1) the
standard dictionary of a language in that
isnguage on!}', such as Littre's French dic-
tionary, and (2) the bilingual dictionary,
such as the various French-English and
German-English dictionaries. The first
type is the more complete and must be
46
DICTIONARIES
consulted when the fullest vocabulary or
detailed and historical information is
needed, but it can be used only by some-
one fairly familiar with the language, and
is not needed generally in the smaller li-
brary. The second type, which is the most
used kind in the average library, is planned
for people who are learning a language,
is much less complete in vocabulary and
contains generally no historical informa-
tion, as its main purpose is not detailed
definition but the explanation of a for-
eign word by its English equivalent. The
ordinary bilingual dictionary is generally
very satisfactory for most words of the
"literary" language but is often weak in
scientific terms and popular expressions.
Bilingual dictionaries differ greatly also,
according to the users for whom they are
compiled. In a French-English diction-
ary prepared for the use of English speak-
ing students who are learning French, the
French-English half of the book is the
more important and this will be worked
out very carefully, while the English-
French half may be given briefer or less
careful treatment. The reverse is true of
a dictionary prepared for French students
learning English. In that case the Eng-
lish-French half is more important and
will generally be fuller and better than the
French-English half. A library which can
afford to have several dictionaries of a
language should take this difference into
account and represent both points of view.

"In the Deutsches worterbuch of Jacob and Wil-
helm Grimm the scientific spirit . . . first found
expression in general lexicography . . . Their de-
sign, in brief, was to give an exhaustive account of
the words of the literary language (New High Ger-
man) from about the end of the 15th century, in-
cluding their earlier etymological and later history,
with references to important dialectal words and
forms; and to illustrate their use and history
abundantly by quotations . . . The scope and
methods of this dictionary have been broadened
somewhat as the work has advanced. In general
it may be said that it differs from the New Eng-
lish dictionary chiefly in its omission of pronuncia-
tions and other pedagogic matter; its irregular treat-
ment of dates; its much less systematic and less
lucid statement of etymologies; its less systematic
and less fruitful use of quotations; and its less con-
venient and less intelligible arrangement of ma-
terial and typography." Encyclopaedia Britannica,

many of the principal conceptions of
ethics, logic, aesthetics, philosophy of re-
ligion, mental pathology, anthropology, bi-
ology, neurology, physiology, economics,
political and social philosophy, philology,
physical science and education, and giving
a terminology in English, French, Ger-

terms (4) French terms (5) Italian terms; v. 3,
Bibliography of philosophy: pt. 1, History of
philosophy, pt. 2. Systematic philosophy, Logic
Aesthetics, Philosophy of religion, Ethics, Psychol-
ogy.
A useful authoritative work, concise rather than
exhaustive in treatment, with signed articles by
specialists and many bibliographies. Covers the
whole field but is fuller for modern than for
earlier aspects of the subjects and does not attempt
to cover the whole of Greek and Scholastic philoso-
phy. Includes very brief biographies of men no
longer living. A special feature is the inclusion
cf French, German and Italian equivalents of Eng-
lish terms.
A new edition 1910 differed from the original
only in the correction of a few typographical errors.

meanings and treatment through the writings of
the philosophers and giving many references to
sources. For the specialist, not the general reader.

Schaff, Philip. The new Schaff-Herzog
encyclopedia of religious knowledge, em-
bracing biblical, historical, doctrinal and

and ecclesiastical biography; based on the

Hauck. S. M. Jackson, editor-in-chief.

This encyclopedia is one of the most important
reference books on its subject in English, superseding
the older work by M'Clintock and Strong, except for
an occasional special article. Based upon the 3d ed.
of the Herzog-llauck-Real-eitcyklopadie, and so
Protestant in tone, but not biased. Is not a mere
translation of the German work, however, as much
of the material has been condensed, fresh material
added and the bibliographies exte.nded and im-
proved. Is not limited to the Christian religion
but includes articles on other religions and relig-
ious leaders. Covers the whole field of biblical, his-
torical and contemporary theology, church history
and religions biography, including separate articles
on all sects, denominations and churches, organiza-
tions and societies, missions, doctrines, controver-
sies, etc. Biographical notices include those of men
still living. The strongest feature of the work is
the bibliographical feature which is in three forms
— (1) an excellent general bibliographical survey,
with critical comment, in the preface (xii— xxiv),
(2) the bibliographical appendix at the beginning of
each volume which gives recent literature, and (3)
the fine bibliographies appended to each article.
The most extended modern work of
reference in the field of theology is the
gieat French series now in course of pub-
lication under the general title Encyclo-
pedic des sciences religieuses, composed of
the following separate works:
Dictionnaire d'archeologie chretienne, by
Cabrol; Dictionnaire d'histoire et de geo-
graphic ecclesiastiques, by Baudrillart;
Dictionnaire de theologie catholique, by
Vacant and Mangenot; Dictionnaire de la
Bible, by Vigouroux, and Dictionnaire du
droit canonique, (this last in preparation
but not yet published). Parts of this se-
ries contain the finest material on the sub-
ject published in any language and the
work as a whole represents the highest
level of French Catholic scholarship. The
price of the sets puts them beyond the
reach of the small or medium-sized li-
brary and the work is too special to be of
much use except in a theological library,
a large general reference library or a li-
brary which specializes in mediaeval and
ecclesiastical history and literature. For
historical subjects the two dictionaries by
Cabrol and Baudrillart are the most use-
ful of the series. For fuller description
see below and also p. 57, 63.

Publication in fascicles was begun in 1908; v.
'2 was completed in 1914, and one fascicle of v.

of the letter A. Scope of work covers all subjects
in history of the Roman Catholic church, and other
churches as they affect the Roman church, from
the beginning of Christianity to the present time.

The geographical material includes separate articles
on towns and other small divisions, past and
present, indicating the connection of the place
with ecclesiastical history, its present ecclesiastical
status,' a list of its religious institutions, and, in
case it is or has been an episcopal see, a list of the
bishops, etc. There are biographical articles on
all important and some minor names in the Roman
Catholic church, members of other churches who
have had any effect on the Roman church, all
ecclesiastical and theological writers, saints in the
Russian and other churches, ecclesiastical musicians,
artists, etc. Signed articles, good bibliographies.

for use by the general reader as well as the pro-
fessional Bible student.
In comparing the two works by Cheyne and
Hastings the Nation says: "The one [Cheyne] is
an international undertaking which will be accepted
and quoted on the continent of Europe as well as
in England and America; the other is adapted for
the use of the English-speaking peoples. The one
appeals to scholars and specialists; the other more
to the body of the Christian church. It will be
the boast of some articles in the one that they
give the best presentation of their subjects that
exists in English; it is true of many articles in the
other that they give the best short presentation that
exists in any language." — Nation, 70 : 246.

EDITIONS
While the Bible itself is not a reference
book in the ordinary sense of the word, at
least one copy or edition will be needed
in even the small reference collection. The
first to be purchased should be a good
parallel text edition of the Authorized, or
King James version, and the Revised ver-
sion; a good edition is the Riverside paral-
lel Bible (Bost. Houghton, $5.). To this
should be added a copy of the Douay
Bible, the authorized Catholic translation'
from the Latin Vulgate; a good edition is
published at Baltimore, by Murphy, $1. A
convenient collection of various English
translations of the New Testament is:
The English Hexapla, exhibiting the six
important English translations, Wiclif 1380,
Tyndale 1534, Cranmer 1539, Genevan
1557, Anglo-Rhenish 1582, Authorized
1611, and the original Greek text (Lond.
Bagster, 42s.).
• Larger reference collections will need
copies of the Latin Vulgate (good edition
Milan, Hoepli, 1914, 12L.), and of the
Greek text; good editions of the latter are:
Old Testament in Greek, ed. by Henry
Barclay Swe'te (Cambridge Univ. press,
3 v. 22s. 6d.) and the Parallel New Testa-
ment Greek and English, with the original
Greek as ed. by F. H. A. Scrivener (Cam-
bridge, Univ. press. 9s.)

"It differs from the general encyclopedia in omit-
ting facts and information which have no relation
to the Church. On the other hand, it is not ex-
clusively a church encyclopedia, nor is it limited
to the ecclesiastical sciences and the doings of
churchmen. It records all that Catholics have done,
not only in behalf of charity and morals, but also
for the intellectual and artistic development of
mankind." Preface.
Authoritative work with long signed articles by
specialists, good bibliographies and illustrations.
Very useful for many questions on subjects in
mediaeval literature, history, philosophy, art, etc.,
as well as for questions of Catholic doctrines, his-
tory, biography. The standard work in English,
but for very full information often not so good as
the great French Catholic works.

For ordinary purposes the most useful
bibliographies in the field of the social
sciences are the various "selected lists"
issued by the Library of Congress and
revised as needed. These contain ref-
erences to the best book and periodical
literature on their subjects and already
cover about seventy different subjects, in-
cluding such topics as child labor, parcels
post, political parties, monetary question,
trusts, tariff, etc. For a complete list of
these bibliographies see the following:

The New York public library has also
published several valuable bibliographies
on subjects in social science, including lists
on bimetallism, constitutions, criminology,
economic and social aspects of war, mar-
riage and divorce, minimum wage, money
and banking, political parties, political
rights, government control of railroads,
etc. These lists, which are printed in the
SPECIAL SUBJECTS
Bulletin of the New York public library
and reprinted as separates, are usually
longer than the Library of Congress select-
ed lists, and are very useful when full lists
are wanted. For briefer lists the bibli-
ographies given in the Debater's hand-
books are often serviceable. See under

POLITICAL SCIENCE AND ECO-

ed. by Andrew C. McLaughlin and Al-

3 v. illus. (incl. maps) 26cm. $22.50. 320.3
Scope is wider than title indicates as many articles
are included on general or foreign topics, but the
majority of the subjects treated are American.
Covers topics in theory or philosophy of political
society, forms of political organization, methods and
agencies of law and government, international and
constitutional law, party organization, federal, state
and municipal government, history of political par-
ties and other American political topics. Many
biographies, including those of living men. Ar-
rangement is alphabetical by small subjects and there
is an analytical index. Signed articles by specialists,
bibliographies. Has been criticised for hasty work
and minor inaccuracies. See long review by H. B.

The standard English work, including some gen-
eral and foreign aspects of the subject, but largely
limited to developments of economic study in Eng-
land, America and the English colonies. Signed
articles by specialists, bibliographies. Useful and
authoritative, but unfortunately not recently revised
and so not up to date for recent topics and literature.
First published 1894-96. The 1910 edition is a
reprint, not a new edition, differing from the original
edition only in having an appendix of new material,
v. 3, p. 693-803. Libraries having the original
edition can obtain the appendix, which is issued
separately by the London house at 2s 6d. The first
volume of a 1915 edition has been issued which con-
tains the same supplement as the 1910, but differs
from that edition by having cross references to the
supplement incorporated in the main alphabet.

STATISTICS
Reference questions calling for statistics
are frequent in any library, and reference
books which furnish reliable and up to
date statistics are of great importance in
any reference collection though their use
is greatest in libraries where original re-
search on social, political, economic, or
industrial questions is done. Statistical
reference books fall into four main classes:
(1) general dictionaries or compends (2)
almanacs or annuals of miscellaneous sta-
tistics and general information (3) census
reports or bulletins (4) national year
STATISTICS
books and- statistical annuals limited to
the figures of some particular country. Of
these four classes the first and second are
of easiest and most frequent use for popu-
lar questions and are very useful within
their own field, but they are usually
neither detailed or authoritative enough
for important questions. The third class
is always official (i. e. prepared by a gov-
ernment), and the fourth class is usually
official also, and both are generally re-
liable for important questions. The fourth
class is expensive to keep up if anything
like a complete collection is attempted and
its principal use is therefore in the library
of some size.

so the information can often be verified for im-
portant points. A very useful handbook, and one
with which the reference worker should familiarize
himself thoroughly. Alphabetical index at the front
of each volume. Each issue before 1915 had also a
short index of notable articles in preceding vol-
umes, but in the 1915 and 1916 issues this informa-

"The volumes numbered I — XI, constituting the

a very limited edition, intended chiefly for libraries,
institutions and special students of statistics.
"A condensed report, entitled Abstract of the

intended for more general distribution and pre-
pared in such a way as to meet the needs of most
persons. . . It contains in tabular form all im-
portant census statistics for the U. S. as a whole

71
and for each state and principal city, together with
a brief text explaining their meaning. The Ab-
stract therefore, is a condensation of the complete
census reports, both tables and text, and not merely
a compilation of tables.
"The Abstract is issued in special editions for
each of the several states, each edition containing
a supplement giving the detailed statistics for
counties, cities, and other civil divisions of the state
to which it relates, designed to meet the needs of
persons resident in that state or especially interested
in it. The supplement contains also both tables and
text.
"As a compact reference book . . . the Ab-
stract is more convenient for most persons than the
voluminous final reports." Announcement, 13th Cen-
sus, v. 11.
Each library should secure the Abstract in the
special edition for its own state. The supplements
of state statistics are also issued separately in pam-
phlet form. The large library will find it conveni-
ent to secure all of these and bind them up alpha-
betically, thus securing an arrangement of the com-
plete statistics by states, as well as the arrange-
ment by large subjects given in v. 1-11 of the Re-
ports. Supplements omit occupation statistics.

LAW
Few general libraries can buy many law
reference books, as such books are very
expensive and are often so technical in
character that they can be used intelli-
gently only by lawyers or law stu.dents.
State and legislative research libraries and
some university libraries will naturally in-
clude special law collections but most gen-
eral libraries should buy only such law
books as are needed for the less technical
legal topics, referring all other questions
to the nearest law library. A few law ref-
erence books must however be included in
the reference collection of any general
library of fair size as they are needed not
only for the more general law questions
but also for many questions in the field of
history and the various social sciences.
The minimum equipment for such refer-
ence work should include: (1) a good law
dictionary; (2) a set of the United States
statutes either (a) the "Revised statutes"
with supplements, and subsequent vol-
umes of the "Statutes, at large" and
"Pamphlet laws," or (b) the "Compiled
statutes, or (c) "Federal Statutes Anno-
tated"; (3) the latest revision or compila-
tion of the laws of the home state, with
subsequent session laws; (4) the charter
and ordinances of the home city; (5) the
latest compilation of the United States
"Treaties in force," and Moore's Digest of
international law.
To this minimum the library would add,
as public demand and library funds justi-
fied, one of the large law encyclopedias
and, if the library contains many legal
periodicals, the indexes of legal period-
icals described on p. 12-13.

v. 1, 1874-91; v. 2, 1892-1901.
"In 1867 a commission was appointed to revise
the laws, by discarding all of merely private interest
and all which had become obsolete, and arranging
the general and permanent laws under headings by
which related subjects were brought together. The
Commission reported a revision which was accepted
and published, and is known as the Revised statutes
of 1875. Soon after its publication it was discovered
that the revisers had taken liberties with the text.
In consequence, Congress appointed a new Commis-
sion to revise the work by striking out the sub-
stituted words of the first commission and restoring
the original text. When this work was completed
it was published as Revised statutes, 2d edition,
1878. This remains the standard. Supplementary
revisions were made and published in 1891 and
1901." Supt. of documents. Price list no. 10.

Supersedes the earlier collection by Poore, correct-
ing Poore's more obvious errors and adding the new
material since 1876. The work is useful as being
the only up-to-date collection, but enough errors
and omissions have been pointed out to show that
it should be used with caution. For example omits
text of the 15th amendment to the constitution of
the United States.

Arranged alphabetically by subjects; under each
subject is a digest of provisions from different con-
stitutions which contain provisions on that subject.
Digest follows as far as possible the original wording.
Covers constitutions and amendments to January
1914.
The text of the constitution of the
United States is given in many general
reference books, e. g. New international
encyclopaedia, Cyclopedia of American
government, World almanac, American
Whitaker, etc. and is included also in
the House and Senate Manuals and the
various state or legislative manuals. A
good edition to keep on hand for reference
purposes is that in the House manual
which is indexed and contains full notes
of all ratifications. The Declaration of
independence is also given in these same
books. State constitutions are given in
the various state manuals and these should
be used when the latest revisions or
amendments are wanted.

it goes. For many reference questions,

more useful. A good list of such works
is the following:

SCIENCE
In both science and technology, sub-
jects change and develop so rapidly and
the importance of having the most up to
date information is so great that refer-
ence work has to be done largely through
the periodicals of the subjects, and the
relative importance of encyclopedic ref-
erence books is much less than in other
SCIENCE
gg
subjects. The supply of such reference
books, too, is limited. A scientific ency-
clopedia is out of date for some subjects
as soon as it is printed, and needs to be
revised so frequently, if it is to be of
real service, that publishers hesitate to
undertake many such books. In scientific
subjects for which there is no reliable en-
cyclopedia, recent treatises, college text-
books, etc., often furnish good substitutes
and these as well as the periodical in-
dexes should be used freely.

"While this dictionary treats of more than 600
subjects covering all the important and many of the
obscure branches of the human family, it is in-
tended primarily as a discussion of the various races
and the peoples indigenous to the countries furnish-
ing the present immigration movement to the U. S.
or which may become sources of future immigra-
tion," Preface.
Popular rather than scientific, but useful because
it is the only dictionary of the subject in English
and because the foreign dictionaries are not up to
date. Short articles; general bibliography p. 8-12,
but no bibliographies in the text; maps, good cross-
references.
Museum handbooks of ethnographical
collections are often useful reference aids
both for their reliable descriptive matter
and their many excellent illustrations. Im-

these references form practically a bibliography of
the tribe for those who wish to pursue the subject

A comprehensive work, covering not only agri-
culture but also many other subjects of importance
to the farmer; practically an encyclopedia of rural
life.
For extended reference work in agricul-
ture and horticulture the publications of
the Department of agriculture at Wash-
ington and the reports, bulletins, etc., of
the various state experiment stations are
of first importance. These may be used
through the Experiment station record
(see under Special indexes, p. 10), and
through the general and special catalogs
of public documents described in the sec-
tion on Public documents, p. 170. In li-
braries specializing in reference work in
agriculture the card index of experiment
station publications prepared by the Of-
fice of experiment stations is very useful,
but this is too expensive for the general
library which does not specialize in the
subject.
MEDICINE
Medical reference books often present a
difficult problem in the general library be-
cause (1) they are expensive, (2) they are
often so technical that they can be used
intelligently only by the physician or med-
ical . student, and (3) in a miscellaneous
library they are sometimes misused by
certain types of readers. It is therefore
important to buy only the books which are
actually needed, and unless the library is
maintaining a special medical reference
collection it is usually best not to place
such books upon the open shelves. This
latter restriction applies especially to the
large medical encyclopedias, not to the bi-
ographical, bibliographical or historical
reference books on this subject.

SPECIAL SUBJECTS
1855-1874; v. 7, 1875-1890; v. 8, 1891-1904.
v. 8 has two general indexes (1) authors criti-
cized (2) authors of criticisms.
Primarily a compilation of quoted material not an
encyclopedia of original articles. For each author
treated gives brief biographical data and then se-
lected quotations from criticisms of his work grouped
as (1) personal (2) individual works (3) general.
Extracts are of some length and are given with exact
reference, so that the work serves both as an en-
cyclopedia of critical comment and an index of liter-
ary criticisms. Very useful to the reference libra-
rian, and in general public library work. In school
and college work must sometimes be used with care,
as instructors often prefer not to have their students
use criticisms of any work until after they have read
the work itself.

$5. 820.2
"This manual makes the first attempt to treat all
the extant writings in print, from single lines to the
most extensive pieces, composed in English between
1050 and 1400. At times, as with the Romances,
the Legends, and the Drama, a desire for greater
completeness has led to the inclusion of pieces later
than 1400.
"The work is not a history, but a handbook. It
seeks to record the generally accepted views of
scholars on pertinent matters, and does not pretend
to offer new theories or investigations." Preface.
Gives for each piece listed, its probable date, MS
or MSS, form and extent, dialect in which first com-
posed, source or sources when known, bibliography,
and comment and abstract also in case of the longer
works.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
For most purposes the bibliographies
given in the Cambridge history of English
literature will be found satisfactory. For
many questions the English national bib-
liographies described in the section Bibli-
ography, p. 180-83, will have to be used, es-
pecially those dealing with the earlier
periods. The following manual is a useful
bibliographic handbook for university stu-
dents or other advanced workers.

ALLUSIONS
The small reference books called hand-
books of information, or books of allusions,
are constantly needed for minor reference
questions about the various biographical,
literary, mythological, geographical and
other allusions made by writers. They are
also needed by readers who are participat-
ing in "puzzle" or "prize question" con-
tests. Books of this type usually give only
brief information, are not always accurate,
and seldom give authorities. They are
useful as first aids, but must be checked
by other authorities for important ques-
tions. No one book covers the whole field
so it is well to keep many books of this
type at hand.

Title varies.
Weekly since 1849; divided into series, each con-
taining 12 volumes; the present series, the llth, was
begun in 1910. There is an index to each volume
and a general index to each series. If it is not
convenient to keep the whole set in the reference
room the 10 general indexes should be kept there.
Contains a large amount of interesting and often
very valuable information on out of the way ques-
tions, usually small points in general and local his-
tory and literature, bibliography, manners, customs,
folklore, local observances, quotations, proverbs,
etc. Much of the information is in the form of
answers to questions from readers, articles are signed
and sources of information are given. Indexes are
well made and detailed and should be used con-
stantly as supplements to the handbooks of allu-
sions, quotations, proverbs, etc. A similar publi-
cation in French is the following:

ANTHOLOGIES
Anthologies, or compilations of poetical
selections, form an important element in
any reference collection. Their principal
reference use is as aids in finding quickly
some one poem, and they are most useful
in the case of poems by authors whose col-
lected works are not in the library, or in
cases where the reader knows only the
title or first line of a poem, and not the
author's name. Many anthologies have bi-
ographical or bibliographical notes which
are often useful. The value of an anthol-
ogy for reference purposes depends upon
the care with which the selection has been
made, the number of authors represented,
the character of the notes, and the com-
pleteness of the indexes which should be
such that any poem included can be found
if either its author, title, or first line is
known. There are so many good antholo-
gies that it is impossible to list all, but the
following are among the most useful:

QUOTATIONS
Books of quotations are important in any
reference collection for (1) supplying
QUOTATIONS
115
quotable passages from the writings of a
given author, (2) suggesting quotations
suitable for a given occasion or use, (3)
identifying a given quotation. This last
is the most frequent and important of the
three uses. As every book of quotations
is necessarily selective and as each includes
something not given in the others, the
large library will need all such books which
are of any value at all. The small library,
however, can get along with a much more
limited supply. If it has two, (1) Bart-
lett, as the best chronological-author list,
and (2) Hoyt, as the most useful subject
list, it is well equipped for ordinary refer-
ence work with English quotations.
The reference value of a book of quo-
tations depends upon three things: (1)
the comprehensiveness of the collection
and the care and judgment with which the
quotations have been chosen; (2) the ex-
actness of reference with which the quota-
tions are given, «. e. reference should be
not merely to the author, but to the spe-
cial work, and its chapter, section, stanza,
etc.; and (3) the completeness of the index.
As the most frequent use of such books is
for the purpose of locating a given quota-
tion, the index should include every word
in each quotation listed which a reader is
at all likely to remember.

CONCORDANCES
Concordances are useful (1) for a study
of an author's use of words, (2) as an in-
dex (verbal only) to the subject matter of
his writings and (3)x for locating quota-
tions. For this third use they are an im-
portant supplement to the collection of dic-
tionaries of quotations. The most useful
concordances are those that are complete
». e. cover not only all of an author's writ-
ings but all words used by him, except ar-
ticles and certain minor words, and all oc-
currences of each word.
Verbal indexes resemble concordances
and may be used for the same purpose but
are less easy to use for quick reference be-
cause they merely refer to the place where
CONCORDANCES
119
a word occurs and do not quote context.
Certain author dictionaries i. e. those which
are dictionaries of language not of subject
matter, may also be made to serve as con-
cordances. Examples of dictionaries
which may be used in this way are the dic-
tionaries included in the French Grands
ecrivains series.
Information about new concordances
projected or finished is given from time
to time in the Circulars of the Concordance
society.

AUTHOR DICTIONARIES
There are three main types of author dic-
tionaries: (1) dictionary of an author's
language, giving definitions and explana-
tions of his use of words; (2) dictionary
of characters, places, allusions, etc.; and
(3) dictionary, or index, of the subject
matter of an author's work. The reference
value of a dictionary of any of these types
depends upon (1) the completeness, accu-
racy and information with which the work
has been done, and (2) the exactness of
tlie references, which should be made, in
every case, to the particular chapter, stan-
za, scene, etc., in which a given word, char-
acter, or subject, is to be found, not merely
to the title of the work.

Gives the characters and scenes of all the novels
in one alphabetical ist, but contains no outlines of
plots. Differs from Rogers' Waverley dictionary in
having the one list instead of a separate list for each
novel and in referring only to the title of the story
in which a character appears, not to specific chap-
ters. In this latter respect less useful than Rogers,
but lists more characters than the latter.

synopsis of plot. There is a general index of char-

FICTION
Reference books on fiction are needed
for finding many things e. g. author's name
when only title of book is known, lists of
novels dealing with special subjects, local-
ities or historical periods, descriptive or
critical notes and outlines of plots, the title
of the work in which a certain fictitious
character appears, the collection or other
work in which a story not published sepa-
rately may be found, etc. The following
books will help on most of these points,
but the handbooks of allusions and the
various author dictionaries must also be
used. Printed library catalogs which con-
tain many title and analytic entries are
useful, and the indexes of periodicals must
often be used for stories and novels printed
in periodicals.

A thorough revision of the first edition, 1903, dif-
fering from the first edition by the addition of much
new material, the combination of the English, Irish,
Scotch and colonial lists under one heading, the ^x
tension of the foreign lists, the omission of the his
torical appendix and the combination of the in-
dexes. There are separate national lists for Eng-
lish, American, Belgian (including Dutch and Flem-
ish), Celtic, French, German, Greek (ancient and
modern), Hungarian, Latin, Scandinavian, Slavonic,
Spanish, Yiddish, and non-European fiction. Each
important list is divided into periods and the au-
thors of each period listed alphabetically. The for-
eign books included are in English translations,
whenever possible. Good annotations, and an excel
lent index of authors, titles, subjects, historical
names, allusions, places, characters, etc.

rangement is first by country and then chronologi-
cally by the historical period illustrated and descrip-
tive notes indicate briefly the plot and scene of each
story, its historical characters, etc. Full index
(148p.) of authors, titles, historical names, places,

average American public library, but occasionally
useful for the point of view and for the comments on
the subjects and tone of the French authors in-
cluded.

"In the present catalogue it is proposed to give
a precise account of the MS. sources of Romance
in the British Museum. Its scope is not limited to
a description of those works which by their con-
nection with the various cycles or by their own
construction can claim the title of Romances, but
it also embraces a larger class of literature which
more or less directly has to do with the subject. . . .
"Taking into account also the bibliographical and
literary information with which the descriptions
are accompanied, and the critical analysis to which
the different texts have been submitted, it is hoped
that the Catalogue may serve not only as a guide
to the Museum collection, but also, to some extent,
as a handbook to the subject." Preface.
The most important reference book in English
on the subject. For each romance it gives, in ad-
dition to the description of the manuscript in the
British museum, some account of the tale, its out-
lines, different versions, other manuscripts, author-
ship, history, etc., and important bibliographic
references both to printed texts and to critical com-
ment.
To be completed in four volumes; the fourth will
contain additional romances and a general index.

DRAMA
Reference books on the drama are
needed for rinding (1) biographies of
dramatists or actors; (2) the author's name
when only the title of a play is known;
(3) outline of the plot, list of characters,
date and place of production, etc., of a
given play; (4) information as to where
text of plays not separately published may
be found; (5) dramatic criticisms, etc.
In addition to the special reference books
noted below, certain sections in some of
the more general reference books are use-
ful. The subject-index volumes of Lorenz,
Catalogue general (see under Bibliog-
raphy, p. 184)' give, under the heading
Theatre-Pieces isolees, title lists of all
French plays separately published since
1840. The index volumes of Kayser's
Biicher-lexikon give similar lists of Ger-
man plays under the heading Theater-
stiicke; earlier German lists are given as
supplements, under the heading Schau-
spiele, in each volume of Heinsius' Biicher-
lexikon, 1700-1827. These lists answer
questions both of authorship and of publi-
cation. Printed library catalogs which
contain many title and analytic entries are
useful. The catalogue of the Milwaukee
public library enters plays under title as
well as author and indexes many sets and
collections. The Library of the Peabody
institute in both its first and second cata-
logs gives under the heading Drama an au-
thor and also a title list of single plays
with references to collections in which they
may be found.

sketches and other stage pieces of which any record
can be found since the commencement of the Eng-
lish stage, giving authors' names, dates of produc-
tion, and recording important revivals." — Preface.

Two companion volumes which between them
cover selected portions of the whole field of mod-
ern drama. For each dramatist included, these
books give (1) some general biographical and crit-
ical material, (2) a list of his plays, with dates of
publication and production, (3) selected bibliog-
raphy, (4) outlines of selected plays, with comments
and suggestions for study. Special reference value
of both books is for the lists of performances, which,
while not complete, bring together a good deal of
information which is often difficult to find.

CLASSICS
The various classical dictionaries de-

reference books for many questions about
topics and names in Greek and Latin lit-
erature. Sandys' Companion to Latin
studies, and Whibley's Companion to
Greek studies should also be used. For
description of both of these see under
History, p. 162. The following bibliog-
raphies are important:

BIOGRAPHY
Dictionaries of biography are among the
most important and most used reference
books in any collection, and even a small
library will need several books of this
class. There are three main types of bio-
graphical dictionaries: (1) general, (2) na-
tional or regional, (3) special classes, e. g.
artists, musicians, etc. Each of these
classes may, in turn, be divided as (1) gen-
eral or retrospective, i. e. not limited to
any period, and (2) contemporary.
In examining biographical dictionaries,
test them for the points enumerated in the
general instructions for examining refer-
ence books (see Introduction p. xii), and
in addition note carefully whether there is
any evidence of what is called the "com-
mercial" character about the book. Un-
scrupulous publishers will sometimes in-
clude padded or unduly eulogistic articles
on comparatively unknown persons, with
the expectation, or on condition, that per-
sons thus written up will subscribe for the
book. The inclusion of such articles puts
the book in the "commercial" class and
casts doubt upon the authority of all ar-
ticles. Such books are not necessarily to
be rejected if they happen to be the only
ones in their particular field, but they must
always be used with caution, and they have
no critical value.

dictionary of biography and mythology.
4th ed. rev. Phil. Lippincott, 1915.
[c 1870-1915] 2550 p. 27cm. $10. 920.01
The most frequently useful of the general bio-
graphical dictionaries in English. Comprehensive,
includes men and women of all nations and peri-
ods, including many still living; names from the
Greek, Roman, Teutonic, Sanskrit and other mythol-
ogies are also included. Articles in general are
brief, though there are some long articles, pronun-
ciation is marked and there is some bibliography,
though this feature is not important. Appendices:
(1) Vocabulary of Christian (or first) names, with
pi enunciation, and equivalents in the principal for-
eigi. languages; (2) Disputed or doubtful pronun-
ciations.
The 4th edition though revised so as to include
considerable new material is not reset but is printed
from the plates of the 3d edition (1901) with altera-
tions in some of the older articles to bring them to
date, omission of some minor articles, and inclusion
of new names.

tniliar names ; less useful for quick reference work
on more familiar names, because too much ma-
terial is given for the ordinary reader. For the
l.irge and university library.

NATIONAL
AMERICAN
There is, unfortunately, no American
dictionary of national biography of the
first rank. The nearest approach is Apple-
ton's Cyclopaedia of American biography,
but this, though a reliable and serviceable
work as far as it went, was never from the
point of view of either authority and
length of articles or amount of bibliog-
raphy, in the same class as the English
Dictionary of national biography.

unsuccessful candidates for those offices, cabinets,
1789-1897; analytical index to v. 7.
"Includes names of native and adopted citizens of
the U. S., including living persons, from the ear-
liest settlement. Also eminent citizens of Canada,
Mexico, and all other countries of North and South
America. Also names of men of foreign birth who
are closely identified with American history."
Preface.
On the whole, the best of the general American
biographical dictionaries. Contains generally ac-
curate and fairly long articles, little bibliography,
many portraits, principally small but clear cuts in
the text, and many facsimiles of autographs. A pe-
culiarity of arrangement to be remembered is that
under each family name arrangement is not alpha-
betical, but by seniority in the family. The ana-
lytical index is useful for subjects and for names
not treated separately.

Articles are not of a very high order but the
entire work includes a great many names and is
therefore useful, especially for names not given in
Appleton. Includes living personages. Not ar-
ranged alphabetically, so must be used through the
index; v. 14—15 are supplementary volumes pub-
lished 1910 and 1914-16; not indexed in the Con-
spectus noted below.
Issued in several editions, or printings, which
vary somewhat, later issues showing some addi-
tions and rearrangements. Numbering of volumes
is somewhat irregular, i. e. in some sets 14 is suppl.
v. 1, and in others v. 14, and two different volumes
numbered as v. 15 have been issued, one in 1914
and the other 1916. The first v. 15 is not found in
all sets.

Contains both a personal and a topical index to
v. 1-13 of the above, and in addition the follow-
ing chronological lists: Delegates to the colonial
congresses, Presidents and vice-presidents, Cabi-

The most important reference work for English
biography, containing signed articles by specialists,
and excellent bibliographies. Articles are adequate,
i. e. important names treated at great length, minor
names more briefly, and are generally reliable and
scholarly. Scope includes all noteworthy inhab-
itants of the British Isles and the Colonies, ex-
clusive of living persons; includes noteworthy
Americans of the colonial period. The first sup-
plement includes biographies of those omitted from
the main part and of those who died before Jan.
22, 1901 ; the second supplement carries the record
to December 31, 1911 ; the entire work includes
30.935 biographies. The index and epitome serves
a double purpose i. e. it is both an index to the
main work and the first supplement, and also an in-
dependent biographical dictionary, as it gives ab-
stracts, each about one-fourteenth of the length
of the original article.
The main work and first supplement are pub-
lished in two editions, the original edition in 66 vol-
umes, and a re-issue, 1908, on slightly thinner
paper, compressed into 22 volumes. This reprint in-
corporates in the articles the corrections noted in
the volume of Errata and is, to that extent, to be
preferred to the original edition. Libraries buying
the work now are recommended to purchase the re-
print, but libraries having the original edition and
the volume of Errata do not need the reprint. Price

FRENCH
There is unfortunately no French dic-
tionary of national biography as yet. A
Paris firm, Letouzey et Compagnie, has
announced the preparation of such a dic-
tionary and this, if it is of the same grade
and on the same scale as the religious
encyclopedias issued by the same firm,
(see Baudrillart, Cabrol, etc., under Re-
ligion, p. 56) will be of the first import-
ance. No parts of the projected work
have yet been published. For French
biography, then, recourse must be had to
the general French encyclopedias, to the
general biographical dictionaries of French
origin, such as Hoefer and Michaud, and
to the French local biographical diction-
aries which, fortunately, are numerous al-
though not all up to date. Lists of these
local or regional dictionaries are given in
La grande encyclopedic 6: 894-95, and in
Stein's Manuel de bibliographic p. 501-07.

GEOGRAPHY
There are four principal types of refer-
ence books which are useful in answer-
152
SPECIAL SUBJECTS
ing questions in geography: (1) gazetteers,
both general and special, which serve to
tell where a given place is and furnish de-
scriptive information about it; (2) diction-
aries of place names, which indicate the
origin and meaning of such names and the
different forms which have been in use at
different times; (3) atlases, which supply
maps and through their indexes aid in the
location of places; (4) guide books which
supply a different type of descriptive ma-
terial from that given in the gazetteers and
contain many maps, especially local maps
and town plans, not given in the general
atlases.
ANNUAL

mann Haack, 1903-14. Gotha, Perthes,
1904-14*. v. 1-12. maps. 14cm. 8 m. per

Contains for each year a calendar, geographic
chronicle, discoveries, geographic literature and ad-
dress lists as follows: A, persons prominent in
geographic work or in allied subjects; B, geographical,
geological, anthropological and ethnological societies,
museums, etc.; C, periodicals; D, publishers. In
later volumes, all address lists are not repeated each
year, e. g. list A is given in v. 11, B-D in v. 12;
for full information, therefore, the two latest vol-
umes must be used together.

GAZETTEERS
GENERAL
Lippincott's new gazetteer; a complete
pronouncing gazetteer or geographical dic-
tionary of the world, containing the most
recent and authentic information respect-
ing the countries, cities, towns, resorts,
islands, rivers, mountains, seas, lakes, etc.,
in every portion of the globe; ed. by An-
gelo Heilprin and Louis Heilprin. Phil.
Lippincott, 1906. 2053 p. 28cm. $10 sh.
910.3
The most complete and useful of the American
gazetteers. Includes in one alphabet names of cities,
towns, rivers, mountains, lakes and other geograph-
ical features, and gives for each the pronunciation ot
its name, infoi nation about other names by which
the place was known, location, altitude, etc., and, in
the case of towns, population figures, and brief
information about local industries, finances, history,
educational and other institutions, etc. Entry is
under the present form of the place name (in Eng-
lish), with cross references from ancient, mediaeval
or other early forms or foreign forms.
This work is usually sufficient for all ordinary
gazetteer questions. For out-of-the-way places
omitted from this work or for fuller information
than that given here, the large foreign works or
the special local gazetteers must often be consulted.

The most complete and important of the general
gazetteers. The longer articles are by specialists and
are of a high grade, information is much fuller
than that given in either Lippincott or Chisholm
and many names are included, especially minor
European or Asiatic names, which are not given in
the American and English works. Not now up to
date and so less useful for ordinary questions than
Lippincott, but more useful than that work when
very detailed or out-of-the-way information is needed.

form was used and exact references to manuscripts
or printed authorities, and, in the case of important

v. 3 is a regular dictionary list. As v. 3 does not
duplicate many of the names in v. 1-2, use must
still be made of the earlier volumes.

have been corrected, new place names added, and
the index entirely reset and supplied with the 1910
census figures. Except when a large scale map is
needed the Century atlas is generally more satisfac-
tory than the Rand, McNally atlas. General index
contains 185,00.0 names.

Not strictly an historical atlas, but is designed
simply to show the boundaries of states and their
changes. Deals with "geography as influenced by
history and with history as influenced by geography."

service to every thoughtful student." C. K. Adams.
3d ed. contains brief additions and corrections.

Each map is accompanied by explanatory text. Its
special feature is a series of 17 maps illustrating the

are fortunately of a size not to need folding, and
each is preceded by an explanatory note giving au-
thorities, with a running commentary which to the
advanced student will prove often of more im-
portance than the accompanying maps." G. Lc

kinds of local information than either the
general or the special gazetteers and give
more local maps, plans of cities, etc., than
are given in the ordinary atlases. They
are especially useful for information about
the art museums, collections, etc., of any
given place, its architectural and historical
monuments, scenic features, railroad and
other communications, etc. Good guide
books are (1) the Baedeker series pub-
lished in both English, French and Ger-
man editions (English, Lond. Unwin,
N. Y. Scribner) ; (2) the Murray series
(Lond. Murray, N. Y. Scribner); (3) the
Guides Madrolle (Paris, Hachette) a
French series including only a few titles
but covering some subjects not included
by Baedeker or Murray; (4) the Terry
guide books, a new series recently started
(Bost. Houghton), including so far only
two titles, Mexico and Japan; (5) an
extended French series, the Guides Joanne
which includes, especially, many local
French guide-books (Paris, Joanne);
(6) Official guide to eastern Asia, pub-
lished by the Imperial Japanese govern-
ment railways, a new series in four vol-
umes covering Manchuria and Choson,
Japan (2 v.) and China, and supplying
both detailed information and many inter-
esting illustrations (v. 1-4, 1913-15).

pose of encyclopedia and index. In volumes 1-5 the
quotations are taken principally from standard au-
thorities, but in the supplementary volumes periodical
articles and other current material are included more

Originated with Robert Dodsley, at the sugges-
tion of Edmund Burke, who was for some years edi-
tor and principal contributor. Some time after the
year 1791* the copyright and stock were purchased
by Otridge and other booksellers. Messrs. Rivingtons
published a rival continuation, which lasted from
1791 to 1812, and again from 1820 to 1824, when
the two were merged into one. cf. Lowndes, Bib-

The dictionaries listed above are the
best authorities in English and are satis-
factory for ordinary questions. The best
foreign classical dictionaries are, however,
superior to anything in English and should
be used for scholarly reference work, for
very detailed information, for full bibliog-
raphies, especially for reference work for
graduate students in university libraries.
The best foreign works are the French
dictionary of Daremberg and Saglio and
the German Pauly-Wissowa, both listed
below. These two differ in scope but are
about equal in authority.

The two works by Sandys and Whibley are pre-

Each consists of a series of articles, by specialists,
on topics of importance to the student of Greek and
Roman history and literature, such as geography,
ethnology, flora, science, chronology, coins, ships,
buildings, population, slavery, etc. Articles are ade-
quate, with useful bibliographies, and each volume
has four indexes: (1) persons, deities and races,
(2) places, rivers and mountains, (3) scholars and
modern writers, (4) Latin (or Greek) words and
phrases. Very useful as supplementing the various
classical dictionaries.

v. 1, Lists of Congressional and departmental
publications.
"The first systematic attempt to include within
the limits of one publication an approximately com-
plete checklist of all public documents issued by
the United States government during the first cen-
tury and a quarter of its history." — Preface.
A checklist, not a catalog, covering Congressional
documents through the 60th congress and depart-
ment and bureau publications to the end of 1909.
Lists: (1) American State papers, (2) Congressional
documents, 15th-60th congresses; (3) Department
publications arranged alphabetically by government
author.
The list of departmental publications gives, for
periodical publications, a statement of the volumes
and dates which constitute a complete set and the
serial numbers if the publication is contained also
in the serial set; for separate publications the full
title and date are given and the serial number if
the document appears also in the serial set. The
preface contains a list and description of previous
indexes and catalogs of U. S. documents. This edi-
tion replaces the 2d ed. of the Checklist and the ta-
bles of the Tables and index, but does not yet sup-
plant the index of the Tables and index. An index
volume is to be published later.
-Tables of and annotated index to the
congressional series of United States pub-
lic documents. Wash. Govt. print, off.,
1902. 769 p. 29cm. free 015.73
In two parts: (1) Tables of the documents of
the 15th to the 52d congress, inclusive, arranged by
serial numbers; (2) Minute alphabetical subject in-
dex to these documents. The first part is now
superseded by the more complete tables in the 3d
edition of the checklist, noted above, but the sub-
ject index is still very useful as a key to the con-
tents of the congressional set before 1893.
Much important reference material is to
be found in the reports, bulletins and other
publications issued by the various national,
state, and municipal governments. These
publications which are generally known as
"government publications" or "public doc-
uments" cover topics in nearly the whole
field of knowledge, but are most important
for subjects in the fields of social and po-
litical science, economics, finance, labor,
industry, statistics, education, history, etc.,
and in certain sciences such as agriculture,
ethnology, geology, meteorology, etc., to
the study and promotion of which certain
government bureaus or commissions are
devoted. No extended reference work
can be done in questions of labor condi-
tions in America, or American geology,
for example, without the use of some of
the publications of the United States Bu-
reau of labor or the United States Geo-
logical survey.
Public documents are popularly sup-
posed to be difficult to use and understand,
and reference workers often fail to make
the best use of such material because its
difficulty is overrated. The only difficulty
is that documents are published in com-
plicated forms and sets and must be used
through the printed catalogs, bibliog-
raphies and indexes provided for the pur-
pose, but so used the United States docu-
ments for the periods covered by modern
indexes are no harder to use than period-
ical literature which has to be found
through periodical indexes. The reference
worker should, therefore, become thor-
oughly familiar with the important docu-
ment indexes. State and municipal docu-
ments are somewhat harder to use because
less well provided with indexes.

For each document gives full 'title, author, date,
where the document may be found, and a brief
abstract of the contents. Contains much valuable
material but is difficult to use for quick reference
because the index is not sufficiently conrplete, de-
tailed or specific.

Paged continuously.
The Comprehensive index, 1889-93, by J: G.
Ames, published in 1894, is superseded by this -work.
Bridges the gap between Poore's Descriptive
catalogue, and the first volume of the Document
catalogue.
Arranged in three columns. In the first is given
the author of the document or department by
which it is issued; in the second, an alphabetic list
of documents arranged by subjects and titles; in
the third, reference is made to the congress, ses-
sion, the volume of the series in which each is
embraced, and the number of the document. A
personal index is added.
A good usable index, though less minute and
detailed than the Document catalogue. Indicates
the different editions in which a document was
issued and gives serial numbers in a table under
the heading Congressional documents.

ing one congress and the dept. publications ot two

The "comprehensive inde-x" provided for by the
act approved Jan. 12, 1895.
This index, which is generally referred to by
its binder's title as the "Document catalogue." forms
the permanent and complete catalog of all gov-
ernment publications both congressional and de-
partmental for the period covered. It is a dic-
tionary catalog in form, listing all documents under
author (government or personal), subject, and.
when necessary, title also, and giving fu11 catalog
information for each book or pamphlet included.
Includes a large amount of analysis, refers to all
editions in which a document has appeared, and
gives serial numbers for documents in the serial
set, as follows: in v. 1-4, serial numbers are given
only in the table under the entry "Congressional
documents"; beginning with v. 5 serial numbers are
given also throughout the list under the main (i, c.
author) entry for each document, but not under
the analytic entries. As far as issued supersedes
the Document index and the Monthly catalogue
(see below).
— Index to the subjects of the docu-
ments and reports, and to the committees,
senators, and representatives presenting
them (being the Consolidated index pro-
vided for by the act of Jan. 12, 1895), 54th

An alphabetic author and subject index to the
documents included in the serial set; does not
cover bureau or department publications which are
not included in the serial set. Each volume, as
a general thing, covers one session of congress,
but in a few cases one volume covers two sessions.
Each volume contains: (1) alphabetical index, giv
ing for each document indexed, brief title and a
reference to its document number and to the volume
of the congressional series in which it is included;
(2) numerical lists, arranged by document numbers,
of Senate reports, House reports, Senate docu-
ments, House documents, with indication of the
serial number of each; and (3) schedule of volumes,
giving the serial number of each volume. Only
the later volumes are constantly used as the earlier
volumes are superseded for ordinary reference put
poses by the more complete Document catalogue.

"This index undertakes to deal only with the
printed reports of administrative officers, legislative
committees, and special commissions of the states
and with governors' messages for the period since
1789. It does not refer to constitutions, laws,
legislative proceedings or court decisions, except
in so far as they happen to be found in the class
of documents above mentioned. It attempts, on the
other hand, to furnish a list, as complete as possible,
of all the documents and messages which fall
within its scope, in whatever form they have been
published, whether separately, in collected docu-
ments, legislative journals or volumes of laws, and
to indicate the volume in which they may be found.
In addition to furnishing a list of reports and
messages, the index undertakes to supply a refer-
ence by volume and page to all material of economic
importance which they contain, with the exception
of that contained in the reports of bureaus of
labor before 1912. The reason for this exception
is that these reports have already been indexed by
the late Carroll D. Wright, when United States
Commissioner of Labor, in a volume published Dy
his department in 1902." Preface.
The word economic has been interpreted very
liberally to include almost any aspect of American
history. Indexing is by rather general headings and
broad subjects.
U. S. Library of Congress. Division of
documents. Monthly list of state publica-
tions. 1910-16. Wash. Govt. print, off.,
1910-16. 016.3539
A current bibliography, arranged alphabetically
by the names of states, of the publications of the
states, territories and insular possessions of the
U. S. Though limited to the publications received
by the Library of Congress the list is approximately
complete, as the Library of Congress aims to ac-
quire all such material issued. Each title is given
with full cataloging information, including very
detailed contents in the case of composite reports.
The full annual index includes references to these
contents notes as well as to the main titles, so the
list can be made to serve as a subject index as
well as a bibliography.
The titles noted above represent the
principal general bibliographies and in-
dexes of state publications. There are, be-
sides, many bibliographies of the publica-
tions of individual states, and of certain
kinds of state publications, such as stat-
utes, etc. These lists vary greatly in char-
acter, completeness and reference value,
but are often useful, especially in the case
of states not yet included in Miss Hasse's
indexes. A list of such bibliographies is
given in Recce's State documents for li-
braries, p. 112-28.

An index to the English documents included in
the Parliamentary papers of the House of Commons,
not including the papers of the House of Lords
except in so far as these are duplicated in the
Commons papers and not including the "official"
(i. e. the bureau or departmental) publications. Is
arranged alphabetically by rather large subjects,
and does not include many analytic entries, in both
respects being much less detailed than the Ameri-
can indexes. Gives fairly full information about
each paper, however, including its full title, date,
and bill, document or command number, and a
reference to the year and volume of the sessional
papers in which it is to be found, and to the paging
as made up for the House of Commons set. Some
of the subject entries in the volumes before 1850
are rather blind but the later indexes are well made,
accurate and usable, except where minute analysis
is called for. Continued by the following:
— Lists of the bills, reports, estimates
and accounts and papers printed by order

numerical lists of (a) bills, (b) accounts and papers,
(c) command papers; and (3) general alphabetical
index. This last is the main list in each volume, is
compiled on the same plan as the cumulated indexes,
and forms the annual index which is to be used until
superseded by a new cumulated volume.

By P. Deschamps. A supplement to Brunei's
Manuel, forming volume 9 of that work in some sets.
Brunei's Manuel is a general bibliography of rare,
important, or noteworthy books not limited to those
of any one period or language but especially strong
for French and Latin titles and for publications be-
fore the 19th century. For each book listed it gives
author, full title, place, publisher, date, size, num-
ber of volumes, but not generally paging, and, in
the case of rare books, bibliographic and critical
notes with mention of copies and prices at famous
sales and occasional facsimiles of title pages, print-
ers' marks, etc. The arrangement of the main work
(v. 1-5) is alphabetic by authors and titles
and there are two subject indexes, one in v. 6 to the
main work and one in v. 8 to the supplement. Foot
notes throughout v. 1-5 refer to titles omitted from
the main author list but included in the subject vol-
ume (v. 6)
Covers much the same ground as Grasse's Tresor

proportion of French books while Grasse lists more
German titles. The two books must often be used

General bibliographies are never com-
plete and must frequently be supplemented
by more special works, especially by na-
tional bibliographies and by the printed
catalogs of large libraries. Printed
catalogs, such as the book catalogs of the
British museum and the Bibliotheque Na-
tionale (see p. 194), and the depository
card catalog of the Library of Congress,
are especially important, partly because
they serve to locate copies of rare books
and partly because, as their entries are
made only upon examination of the books
listed, they are more free from certain
types of error than general bibliographies
in which some entries have been tran-
scribed from other records without actual
examination of the books themselves. Gen-
eral bibliographies on the other hand, of-
ten give fuller descriptions and annota-
tions.

including books published in the regular book trade,
privately printed books and publications of smaller

two lists, (1) printed books, periodicals etc., (2)
manuscripts and -autographs; volumes 1-10 have
subject indexes.
Information given varies somewhat, but from v.
11 on includes author, title, edition, place, date, size,
binding, condition, sale, name of auctioneer, date
of sale, lot number in original auction catalog,
price. Includes books of all periods and languages
and is of importance in reference work not only as
a record of market prices of second-hand books but
also as a supplement to the general and national
bibliographies, as it not infrequently includes titles
or editions not listed in such bibliographies. In
case of rare books location of the copies sold can
sometimes be traced by applying to the auctioneer
and the giving of the lot number in the original
sales catalog furnishes a clue to a fuller and some-
times important description.

The standard French list for the 19th and 20th
centuries and one of the most important
of modern national bibliographies. Covers French
publications by periods ranging from three years to
25 years, the volumes for each period consisting of
(1) a main author and title list containing full in-
formation, i. e. author's full name, full title of book,
edition, place (if other than Paris) date, publisher,
paging, size, price, and occasional brief notes and
(2) a subject list arranged by broad subjects, with
briefer information i. e. title, author, size, date and
price only. Includes books, pamphlets, some theses
and annuals but not periodicals, and lists some Bel-
gian publications, i. c. books in French published in
Belgium but handled regularly by some French firm
also. Special features are: (1) the inclusion of brief
biographical notes about the authors whose works
are listed, (2) the linking together of all entries for
the same author by cross-references from the later to
the earlier volumes, (3) the occasional brief notes
which tell whether a book has been crowned by the
French Academy, refer -in case of reissues or later
editions to date of first edition and in case of books
or pamphlets reprinted from periodicals, give refer-
ence to volume or date of the periodical, etc. The
information about original publication in periodicals
is often very useful.

While the national bibliographies which

the American, English, French and Ger-

needed in some libraries, especially in col-
lege and large reference libraries. For

die's National bibliographies, and the bul-
letin on Selected national bibliographies,
published by the New York State Library,
both of which are described on p. 177.

Pt. 1, Instruments bibliographiques, is most useful
to librarians. Pt. 2, Histoire et organisation des

portance to the historical student than to the bibli-
ographer."
"It has since [its first appearance, 1896] been uni-
versally recognized as one of the most useful bib-
liographical contributions of recent years, and as
such indispensable to every library. Perhaps the
most important result of the book is that it will
promote the systematic study of bibliography in
connection with university instruction, and it is
greatly to the credit of M. Langlois that he has
clearly pointed out the -lines upon which this study
should be conducted." F. J. Teggart in Lib. j.

Each volume contains a section "Bibliographies
of the year" arranged alphabetically by subjects,
which serves as an annual bibliography of bibliog-
raphies. This section, which was a feature also of
the two earlier publications Annual literary index
and Annual library index, includes both separately
published bibliographies and analytic material.
Another annual which records new bib-
liographies is the Bibliographic des bibli-
otheks- und buchwesens, which is espe-
cially useful for its notes of new foreign
bibliographies. For description see under

CHOICE OF BOOKS
For a discussion of the principles of
book selection and of the importance of
the right selection of books consult E. L.
Bascom's Book selection. Chicago, A. L.
A. pub. board, 1915; preprint of A. L. A.
Manual of library economy, chapter 16.
This is an excellent discussion from the
point of view of the librarian. Various
lists of "the world's greatest books" chosen
by teachers, writers, etc. are printed from
time to time. The value of these depends
upon the judgment and literary taste of the
compiler. Certain lists which have been
given wide circulation should be kept at
hand for ready reference. One of the
most frequently quoted of these short lists
is President Charles W. Eliot's "Five foot
book shelf." This has been often printed,
and may be found for example in the Out-
look, 92: 426,* and in the pamphlet "Har-
vard classics" issued by Collier's weekly.
The following bibliographies are among
the most useful of the longer lists of good
books.
Sonnenschein, William Swan. Best
books; a reader's guide to the choice of
the best available books (about 100,000)
in every department of science, art and
literature, with the dates of the first and
last editions, and the price, size and pub-
lisher's name (both English and Ameri-
can) of each book, a contribution towards
systematic bibliography. 3d ed. (entirely

Supplement to A. L. A. Catalog, 1904.
Contents: (1) Class list; (2) Books in A. L. A.
Catalog, 1904, now out of print; (3) Books in A.
L. A. Catalog, 1904, now issued in new editions;
(4) Subject index, author index.
Both the main work and the supplement are use-
ful in a library for many purposes, for example,
(a) as a guide in selecting books on any subject be-
cause the selection was made by many experienced
librarians, and because the annotations are in some
cases helpful; (b) as an aid in ordering because the
publisher's name and price are given and because
care was exercised in the selection of editions; (c) in
classifying books; (d) in the selection of subject
headings; (e) in ordering printed catalog cards
from the Library of Congress, because the serial
numbers are given.
A previous A. L. A. Catalog was published in
1893, entitled Catalog of "A. L. A. Library," 5,000
volumes for a popular library (Wash. Government
printing office).

"The main purpose of the A. L. A. Booklist is to
aid public libraries in book buying; its secondary
aim is to give assistance in cataloging and classi-
fying to librarians whose training or experience is
limited."
A monthly guide which gives carefully selected
lists of recent publications in general literature,
fiction, children's books, U. S. government docu-
ments, and new editions of older works. Before
1915 the general list was an alphabetical author list
but after that date it is a classified list arranged by
the Dewey D. C. numbers. For each book in-
cluded the Booklist gives author's full name, title,
place, publisher, date, paging, price, L. C. card
number, D. C. class number, suggested subject head-
ings and a careful critical note which estimates the
valne of the book, compares it with other works on
the same subject, and indicates the type of library
for which it is recommended. Planned especially
for the small and medium sized libraries and most
useful in that type.
Each volume has an author and title index. In
addition to the subject index to v. 1-6 noted above,
there is also a subject index to v. 7.

LIBRARY CATALOGS
Printed catalogs of libraries are useful
reference aids not only to the cataloger
but to the reference worker also. To the
latter they are useful for verification of
titles, descriptions of books and editions,
information about authorship, contents,
etc., analytic and other added entries not
given in the library's own catalog, occa-
sional notes, location of copies, etc. Dic-
tionary and subject catalogs are also
helpful in finding lists of books about sub-
jects.

SUGGESTIVE LIST OF 100 REFERENCE BOOKS
The selection of the most important reference books for a small library is often difficult
to make, depending as it must upon the amount of money available, which often is too
limited to buy even the essential works of reference. While the selection depends also upon
the character of the library, and upon special local needs, there are still many books which
are necessary to every library. No library, however small and whatever its character, can
be complete without a dictionary, an encyclopedia, an atlas, and a biographic dictionary.
To assist in selecting for a small public library, a suggestive list of the first one hundred
reference books is offered. It must be remembered, as stated before, that these books can
often be bought for less than the published price, at auction or second-hand. Many impor-
tant works of reference are published by the government and can be obtained free, e. g., the
Statistical abstract, Census reports, Congressional directory, etc. The titles are given to
a certain extent in the order of usefulness of the books. It is comparatively simple to
mention the first ten reference books, but after that the choice becomes more and more
difficult, influenced as the librarian must be by the desire to cover as many subjects as possible.
The personal estimate of a reference book based upon experience and habit will always influ-
ence in its selection. Therefore the following list is not claimed to be the best possible, but
it may be helpful to some who find difficulty in selecting reference books.
American reference books have been preferred to foreign in some cases where the for-
eign books are better, but it is thought that in American libraries an American book is on
the whole more useful where only one book on a subject can be bought. In such cases as
the gazetteer and the atlas, the information in foreign works is not sufficiently full in
American names.
